Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3, celebrated for its compelling opening, tender second movement, and vibrant finale, stands as one of his finest works. Following this, the program features Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5, a masterpiece of triumph and tragedy. The performance will be enhanced with Image Magnification (IMAG) on the big screen, offering detailed views of the guest artist, conductor, and orchestra members. Alessio Bax, known for his extraordinary lyricism, profound understanding, and flawless technique, is hailed as “among the most remarkable young pianists now before the public” by Gramophone.
