Omnibus: The Tchaikovsky Competition

BBC One
on BBC One London

"What I have done is equivalent to winning the World Cup. The Russians realise this... but Britain doesn't seem to."
John Lill, the 26-year-old pianist who shared First Prize in the 1970 Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. From 200 entrants, John Lill was one of five finalists. His virtuoso performance of the test - Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No 1 - makes him sound modest.
