British composer Benjamin Britten’s Piano Concerto in D major Op. 13 is rarely played in concerts, let alone in piano competitions! Well, that feat was accomplished last year at the Tchaikovsky Competition by the 20-year-old American pianist Angel Stanislav Wang (@angelwang_piano) who got the 2nd Prize.
