Ferruccio Busoni's monumental five movement piano concerto can be compared to the great early Mahler Symphonies, Strauss's 'Alpine Symphony' and Schoenberg's 'Gurrelieder'. Its challenges are immense, its romantic range vast. The final movement utilises invisible male chorus with sensitivity, thoughtfulness and resonant warmth. The concerto has had many distinguished admirers, including Arnold Schoenberg. It has been championed by Egon Petri, John Ogdon, Peter Donohoe, Sir Mark Elder and other exceptional and outstanding musicians. Tonight it is presented by the remarkable 20 year old Iranian pianist Arsha Kaviani, a young Lion of the keyboard who has already performed Prokofiev's Second Concerto with the Chetham's Symphony Orchestra as well as Busoni's Fantasia Contrappuntistica. Kaviani has studied the concerto with his teacher Murray McLachlan, as well as with Ronald Stevenson, Peter Donohoe, Bryce Morrison and Michel Beroff.
