In 2022 Yunchan Lim became the youngest ever winner of the Van Cliburn Competition, America鈥檚 most distinguished contest for outstanding pianists. He makes his Proms debut tonight with the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra under Paavo Ja虉rvi, performing Beethoven鈥檚 final piano concerto, the 鈥楨mperor鈥�, a work of heroism and virtuosity in which the soloist brings order to a world of sound and fury. The dashing final chapter of Bruckner鈥檚 Symphony No. 1 proved enough to herald a major symphonic career, but the programme opens at an opposite extreme, with Estonian composer Erkki-Sven Tu虉u虉r鈥檚 Aditus (鈥榚ntrance鈥� or 鈥榓pproach鈥�), a sizzling opener of existential, expressionistic drama.
