with John Lill (piano) and the London Symphony Orchestra leader John Georgiadis
Tonight's young soloist John Lill won the Moscow International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1970. He has toured Russia with Andre Previn and the London Symphony Orchestra playing, as in tonight's studio presentation, the world's most popular piano concerto - Tchaikovsky's No 1. Previn also conducts Walton's rousing Coronation March Orb and Sceptre, with visuals reminiscent of that great occasion in 1953.
