Petrushka<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

After two lockdown cancellations, Simon and I finally played Victor Babin’s highly virtuosic two-piano transcription of 3 movements from Petrushka, in a BBC Radio 3 lunchtime recital from LSO St Lukes in January 2022. Also in the concert was Rachmaninov’s two-piano version of his enchanting Symphonic Dances.

This extraordinary piece first hit me when I heard it live at the Free Trade Hall as an 11-year schoolboy, and I\u2019ve never forgotten the impact of those sounds from another universe.
Is there a greater expression of joy in all of music?
