Conductor Simone Young
Piano Cedric Tiberghien
 
Prokofiev Piano Concerto No 2
Tchaikovsky Symphony No 6 Pathétique

Simone Young, the greatest Australian conductor of her generation, joins with one of the most exciting artists on the international circuit today, Cedric Tiberghien.

Prokofiev's exhilarating Second Concerto has been dubbed 'man versus piano' with its astonishing first movement cadenza. Tiberghien's incendiary performance of this work ensures he always comes out on top!

The eloquence and drama of Tchaikovsky's Pathétique Symphony, considered his musical last will and testament, is glorious proof that he did not intend, in Dylan Thomas' words, to '... go gentle into that good night ...'
