World-renowned piano virtuosos Kirill Gerstein and Garrick Ohlsson combine forces for a dazzling two-piano concert featuring great showpieces of the duo-piano repertoire.
Their program includes a suite from Thomas Adès smash-hit opera Powder Her Face, the exhilarating two-piano version of Rachmaninoff’s late, great Symphonic Dances, Busoni’s daring and imaginative Fantasia Contrappuntistica — conjuring Bach with a 20th-century sensibility — and Ravel’s spectacular, swirling La Valse in its two-piano version. Piano thrills and joy from two masters of the keyboard.
