    Sara Mohr-Pietsch with an adventurous, immersive soundtrack for late-night listening.

Gold Medal Tchaikovsky Competition winner Alexandre Kantorow performs a captivating programme of music, bridging Medtner's emotionally intense first sonata with the profound heights of Beethoven's final piano sonata. After his five-star 2025 BBC Proms performance of Saint-Saëns's Fifth Piano Concerto, The Times wrote of Kantorow's "buoyancy, delicacy and grace," and this evening's concert will surely be filled with these compelling qualities. Broadcast live and presented by Sarah Walker. Liszt: Variations on a theme of Bach, S180 Medtner: Sonata in F minor, Op. 5 Chopin: Prelude in C sharp minor, Op. 45 Hillborg: The Kalamazoo Flow Beethoven: Sonata in C minor, Op. 111 Alexandre Kantorow (piano) To listen on most smart speakers, just say "ask BBC Sounds to play Radio 3 in Concert".
