Igor Levit by Felix Broede
“Igor Levit is always persuasive, giving even the most standard repertory the spark of revelation,” The New York Times writes of his “sumptuously glamorous” recording of J. S. Bach’s Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue that opens this matinee recital. Within the four emotional piano works that comprise Brahms’s Ballades, Op. 10, an alluring wealth of interpretive possibilities await, while Beethoven’s kinetic Seventh Symphony—arranged for solo piano by Liszt—is a grand and utterly engrossing musical world unto itself.
