V铆kingur 脫lafsson performs Adams

The Philharmonia is joined by V铆kingur 脫lafsson to perform John Adams's new Piano Concerto, before taking centre stage with Ravel's complete ballet score Daphnis and Chlo茅.

Esa-Pekka Salonen, Principal Conductor of the Philharmonia for 13 years, returns as Conductor Laureate to join the Orchestra's 80th birthday celebrations. They're joined by pianist V铆kingur 脫lafsson for the London premiere of John Adams's Piano Concerto 'After the Fall', written for 脫lafsson and inspired by his affinity for Bach. After the interval the Philharmonia is joined by the Philharmonia chorus for Ravel's complete ballet score Daphnis and Chlo茅, one of Esa-Pekka Salonen's favourite works.

Presented by Linton Stephens, live from the Royal Festival Hall.
