Santtu-Matias Rouvali and Víkingur Ólafsson
John Adams describes his piano concerto Must the devil have all the good tunes? as a “funky danse macabre”. Pianist Víkingur Ólafsson has chosen the energetic work for his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker, with Santtu-Matias Rouvali, principal conductor of London’s Philharmonia Orchestra, on the podium. Also on the programme are Helix, by Composer in Residence Esa-Pekka Salonen, and Sergei Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony.
