York Guildhall Orchestra: Kabalevsky, Khachaturian, Shostakovich & Ravel

York Guildhall Orchestra's contribution to Shostakovich’s celebration year is the beautiful second piano concerto, which he wrote for his very gifted pianist son Maxim. It is arguably one of the best piano concertos of its time with its lyrical writing - and they have engaged a young, up and coming soloist play it for them; Yuanfan is an amazing pianist with a wonderful sense of style and outgoing virtuosity.
