' The term genius is more appropriate to composers than performers, but clearly there are exceptions.' This was how one critic described Radu Lupu at last year's Promenade Concerts.
Tonight, in one of his very rare television appearances, this great Romanian pianist plays one of Schubert's most beautiful and popular works - the Moments Musicaux, Op 94.
The performance, recorded at Chandos House in London, is introduced by Robin Ray.
