Description
What connects a two-minute musical flash with one of the most famous piano concertos in music history and a symphony in which a single idea constantly takes on new forms? Honegger, Tchaikovsky, and Schumann offer three surprisingly different answers to this question. With pianist Yoav Levanon and principal conductor Gabriel Venzago, the result is an evening exploring energy, transformation, and the special power of a musical moment. The tempo remains fast when the young pianist Yoav Levanon performs Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1—a work that was initially panned as “worthless and unplayable.”
