Superstar Icelandic pianist V铆kingur 脫lafsson joins the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Edward Gardner for a performance of Brahms's majestic First Piano Concerto. This is followed by the world premiere of Freya Waley-Cohen's Mother Tongue, inspired by the the diversity of the world's many languages and the countless histories told through them. Finally the orchestra takes centre stage with Bartok's vivid music from The Miraculous Mandarin.
