His music was an instant smash when he visited the city in the 19th century, and in the CBSO’s centenary season, his sparkling First Piano Concerto was like cracking open a bottle of musical champagne – especially when it’s played by our old friend Stephen Hough. Critics say he’s Britain’s greatest living pianist, but we’re just glad to welcome him back, at the heart of a concert that ends with the irrepressible energy of Mendelssohn’s First Symphony, and begins with the cheerful student drinking songs of Brahms’s festive overture. Bottoms up: this is music to prove – once again - that youth is simply a state of mind!
