Emanuel Ax
The Chopin and Schumann pieces performed here are a combination of dance pieces and fantasies―rhythmic, expressive, and full of wild imagination. They reach new romantic heights by any standards. A John Adams world premiere, written for this bicentennial concert, makes a fascinating complement.
