Scheduled soloist in an all-Beethoven concert, Rudolf Buchbinder, due to play the Third Piano Concerto, fell prey to a virus, so who did we get as last-minute replacement? None other than Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, Artist of the Year at last year's International Classical Awards, an acclaimed top-drawer pianist and recording artist, and a musician with a very distinctive performing personality. On top of that we had a conductor totally new to the RSNO and a completely unknown quantity: Russian-born and Helsinki-based Dima Slobodeniouk.
