Shrovetide in old Russia, and passions surge as the crowds throng the spring Fair, and with them the instantly recognisable sound-world of Stravinsky's ballet Petrushka. But passions aren't for puppets... are they? Even the smaller orchestra of Stravinsky's 1947 revision leaves no room for magical doubt in this "creed of colour, movement, and illusion". Then, Steven Osborne with the confidently symphonic piano concerto that a young maverick Tippett wrote specially for the CBSO, with its visionary middle movement. And for a rousing end, Beethoven's heroic Leonore Overture No.3.

Following tonight's concert, there'll be a chance to hear recordings by previous winners in the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Cardiff Singer of the World competition, ahead of the 2017 final this weekend.
