𝗠𝗢𝗭𝗔𝗥𝗧 Piano Concerto No. 27
Pianist Garrick Ohlsson brings his elegant artistry to Mozart’s intimate and lyrical Piano Concerto No. 27, the composer’s final work in the genre. Ohlsson reminisces about growing up in a “transplanted European culture” just outside New York City, and, at age 9, attending a remarkable concert by the great Arthur Rubinstein at Carnegie Hall, surrounded by a “complete United Nations of sound in the audience.” In addition to ruminating on the old-world legacy of his teachers, Ohlsson muses on bringing full presence to delicate music.
