Leeds International Piano Competition

on BBC Two England

The Big Build Up
Tomorrow and Saturday sees the Finals of this world-famous competition direct from Leeds on BBC2 with commentary and guidance from Richard Baker and Andre Previn.
Tonight Richard Baker can name the six superbly talented young pianists who have fought their way through the gruelling preliminary rounds to the point where they must each play a complete concerto with orchestra. Tonight's programme sees the chosen six playing solo, or in duos with violinist Erich Gruenberg, in their semi-final rounds.
Compare your judgment of what it takes to make a prize-winning international concert pianist with that of the distinguished jury, some of whom are in the studio tonight together with the chairman and co-founder of the competition Fanny Waterman.
