Keyboard Virtuosos I

Virtuosos, indeed! Christian Zacharias’s long-awaited Carnegie Hall recital debut, the 23-year-old phenomenon Yuja Wang in a New York City recital for the first time, and Mitsuko Uchida’s all-Schubert program—not to mention appearances by Leif Ove Andsnes and Evgeny Kissin—are all a part of this series.
