Igor Levit, Piano

Igor Levit’s last Carnegie Hall recital was called by The New Criterion critic “a peak pianistic experience of my concertgoing life. I left the hall feeling high.” Now it’s your turn. Cited by The New York Times for being “consistently game for unconventional approaches to the repertory,” he plays such rarities as Brahms’s left-hand arrangement of Bach’s Chaconne, a rarely heard set of Schumann variations, a monumental Liszt organ work arranged by Busoni, and more.

Beatrice Rana, Piano

Winner of prestigious competitions, a soloist with the world’s finest orchestras, and a critically acclaimed recording artist, Beatrice Rana is one of the brightest stars in the galaxy of great pianists. Her “commanding, innate musicality” (Los Angeles Times) will be at the heart of Chopin’s poetic etudes, Ravel’s evocative Miroirs, and Stravinsky’s The Firebird, a sensational showpiece vividly depicting monsters and infernal dances. The Guardian called Rana “a compelling storyteller”—come hear her share a pianistic tale.
