Prom 23 - Grosvenor plays Busoni's Piano Concerto archive

Part of the BBC Proms. Ready for something completely different? Marking the centenary of the composer's death, Ferruccio Busoni's gargantuan Piano Concerto is perhaps better described as a symphony in five movements, capped by a male chorus. Woven through Busoni's bizarrely wonderful and utterly engrossing score is one of the most challenging piano parts ever committed to paper - tackled tonight by British star pianist Benjamin Grosvenor. Before it, Edward Gardner and his London Philharmonic forces whet the appetite with the snap, crackle and pop of Rachmaninov's riveting Symphonic Dances. There will be an interval.
