This young American pianist has already built a formidable reputation for his accounts of classical and early romantic music; here he plays what Brendel calls 'one of the greatest wonders of the world', a miraculous product of the 21-year old Mozart. Sibelius's sweeping, passionate symphony has long been a Birmingham favourite, and Spano also introduces a work by one of the finest of the current amazing generation of Finnish composers.
