Young South Korean pianist Yunchan Lim has already won audience accolades with his interpretation of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Fourth Piano Concerto, bringing a wealth of expressive nuance to this epic, extravagant work. Making his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker, he performs under the direction of Klaus Mäkelä. Mäkelä also conducts Jean Sibelius’s last complete symphony: a dark, archaic work that, as he puts it, is “held together by a single great breath”. The concert opens with a new work by Austrian composer Thomas Larcher.
