Hear Robert Levin and the OAE perform Mozart's exuberant Piano Concerto No.23, as well as Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony.
Mozart's ever-popular Piano Concerto No.23 is the centrepiece of this concert. Its spirited outer movements contrast with an almost agonisingly beautiful slow movement.
This evening it is played by one of the most brilliant and charismatic pianists of his generation, Robert Levin.
Mendelssohn's evocative depiction of the Scottish landscape rounds the evening off.
Queen Elizabeth Hall at 5.45pm - OAE Extras. Mendelssohn enthusiast and OAE Chief Executive Stephen Carpenter introduces Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony.
