Monday at the Proms: The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic
"Who cares if you miss a note or two? If you're true to the music, THAT's what matters!" So says pianist Simon Trpceski about the pressure of playing a frighteningly difficult piece in front of a concert audience of 6,000, and a broadcast audience of millions. On Monday night, Trpceski joined the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic at the BBC Proms in London, playing Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. We'll hear how it went (he didn't miss many notes), along with a Schumann Overture and the finale of a Tchaikovsky Symphony, both inspired by Lord Byron's tragic hero, Manfred.
