Keyboard Virtuosos II
Five of the greatest pianists lend their virtuosic talents to this phenomenal series. They range from the musically intuitive Yundi Li to living legend Maurizio Pollini, who recently marked the 40th anniversary of his performance career at Carnegie Hall. Pollini returns to celebrate the bicentenary of Chopin, a composer whose music he performs with “masterful authority” (ClassicsToday.com).
