This concert is part of the Keyboard Virtuosos II series.

Program

“expressively shaped and thoughtfully ornamented performances”—New York Times

“Clearly one of the supreme Bach keyboard exponents of our time” (Chicago Tribune), Vladimir Feltsman opens the program with Bach’s lively Partita No. 1. One of Beethoven’s most popular pieces, the Op. 13 sonata was subtitled “Pathétique” by its publisher for its explosive and tragic nature. Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is a virtuosic musical tableau for piano, depicting everything from the play of newly hatched chicks to the grandeur of Kiev’s great gates.
