Víkingur Ólafsson and the Philharmonia : Víkingur Ólafsson Plays Bach and Mozart

Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson joins the Philharmonia for his hotly anticipated Proms debut. Here his skills are on display in JS Bach’s intricate Keyboard Concerto in F minor along with Mozart’s stormy Piano Concerto in C Minor. Josie d’Arby presents Víkingur's performance from the Royal Albert Hall, which is bookended by two Russian masterpieces – Prokofiev’s bijou First Symphony and Shostakovich’s Ninth Symphony.
