In his still young career, the South Korean pianist Yunchan Lim repeatedly impressed with the interpretation of Sergei Rachmaninov's Fourth Piano Concerto — because he elicits an unusual wealth of expressive nuances from this epic, excessive work. On the occasion of his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker, he plays the piece under the direction of Klaus Mäkelä. He also conducts Jean Sibelius' last completed symphony: a dark, archaic work that — according to Mäkelä — is “held together by a big breath.” It starts with a new work by Thomas Larcher, one of Austria's most important composers.
