In 2022 Yunchan Lim became the youngest ever winner of the Van Cliburn Competition, America’s most distinguished contest for outstanding pianists. He makes his Proms debut tonight with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Paavo Järvi, performing Beethoven’s final piano concerto, the ‘Emperor’, a work of heroism and virtuosity in which the soloist brings order to a world of sound and fury. The dashing final chapter of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 1 proved enough to herald a major symphonic career, but the programme opens at an opposite extreme, with Estonian composer Erkki-Sven Tüür’s Aditus (‘entrance’ or ‘approach’), a sizzling opener of existential, expressionistic drama.

“Her virtuosity surfs waves of jubilant energy,” according to the Los Angeles Times. Every performance by Leila Josefowicz is a revelation of new things to be heard and felt in the familiar and a happy introduction to new sounds from less familiar creative voices. John Novacek is “a pianist well worth keeping an ear open for”.
