With powerful intensity and dazzling colours, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Vasily Petrenko ignites a firework display of orchestral emotions. Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki interprets Sergei Prokofiev's Second Piano Concerto in G minor op. 16 - a work that explores the boundaries between tenderness and eruptive energy. The second part features Igor Stravinsky's "Firebird" Suite (1945): Music full of magic, light and transformation - a fairytale flight from darkness into a radiant fire of sound.
