Prokofiev's 3rd Piano Concerto with Daniil Trifonov

Pianist Daniil Trifonov and today's featured conductor, Franz Welser-Möst, come together to perform Prokofiev's fiendishly difficult but lyrical and sparkling 3rd Piano Concerto, one of the composer's best-loved concertos, in a recording from Munich. Also in today's programme, the Austrian conductor (and current Music Director of the Cleveland Orchestra) Franz Welser-Möst presents music by Richard Strauss - Welser-Möst's own selection of pieces from the opera Der Rosenkavalier.
