The piece, written for Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, famously caused a riot at its Paris premiere in 1913. And if there wasn’t exactly a riot in the Royal Albert Hall this time around, there was at least a riotous atmosphere – caused by some sensational, frankly unbelievable playing. Klieser, who was born without arms, plays the horn with his feet. He’s used his sizeable presence on social media to give encouragement and advice on overcoming obstacles, as he did to get to this point in his career.
The Third is the best-known of Prokofiev’s five piano concertos. It was written partly as a calling card for the Russian composer’s burgeoning pianistic career and, as such, contains all the dazzling fireworks and agility that we have come to associate with his music .
