Emanuel Ax, Piano
Through half a century and more than 100 unforgettable concerts, Emanuel Ax has built one of Carnegie Hall’s most astonishing performance legacies, with each recital revealing new shades and nuances of great composers’ works. In addition to highlights by Schubert and Robert Schumann, this evening he performs an irresistible selection of works by Chopin. Enjoy the beautiful Barcarolle, two of the mysterious nocturnes, the muscular and virtuosic Scherzo No. 2, and the Polonaise-fantaisie, a stylistically diverse late work whose genre even Chopin labored to determine.
