After their triumph in the orchestra pit at Saturday's premiere, the orchestra moves to the main stage on Sunday for the first symphony concert of the Easter Festival. Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto and Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony are on the programme twice in Baden-Baden.

Before the concert, we spoke to pianist Jan Lisiecki about whether there is anything new to be discovered a piece as well-known as Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto. You can read the interview here.
