We have a winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in the person of Nikola Meeuwsen. And what a winner he is! In the finale, he performed an exuberant piano concerto by Prokofiev. It is with good reason that these concertos are favourites in concert halls worldwide. And we will listen to two of those concertos by Prokofiev in this episode.
