What's Interesting
- Marveling at Schumann’s piano concerto, Grieg imagined his own.
- Something you’ve never heard before, the CSO’s first-ever performance of Shostakovich’s Fourth Symphony, a work the composer called "the very best thing [I have] written."
- Inspired by Mahler’s scale, Shostakovich amplifies his voice to edgeless intensity.
What Critics Are Saying
“In the Spanish soloist Javier Perianes, the work found an ideal exponent. His demeanour and technique – those flexible wrists! – radiate calm, yet the precision and speed of his fingerwork can be quite shattering. Seldom, if ever, have I encountered such a combination of evident modesty and utter brilliance.”
—The Sunday Times
“With utmost naturalness at the keyboard, [Perianes] also found room for old-fashioned virtuosity.”
—The Telegraph
