Performance NotesClassic FM Live returns to the Royal Albert Hall for another evening of classical favourites. The world-famous Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra will be joining us, under the direction of their Principal Conductor Vasily Petrenko - in this, the ensemble's 175th anniversary year. In what promises to be a very special night, the star young pianist Ji Liu will perform Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No.2, and 'The Man with the Golden Flute', Sir James Galway, will play a selection of much-loved melodies. As always, Classic FM Live will include spectacular lights and fireworks, and a roof-raising finale to the sound of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.

World premiere of 'A Celebration Overture', Nigel Hess.

Sir James Galway's last Royal Albert Hall performance.

The event was audio recorded for broadcast on Classic FM Radio.
