Enjoy a legacy started 250 years ago. As Tchaikovsky wrote, “It is because of Mozart that I love music.â? To set the scene, Jeffrey Kahane introduces the Mozartiana premiered in 1887 with the gigue and menuet the Russian so faithfully transcribed in his tribute. 24-year-old Alisa Weilerstein’s natural virtuosity and impassioned musicianship will set the arching melodies of the Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations off to perfection. “She has a particular passion and an individual voice that are completely innate. There’s a wholehearted engagement with the music … she is a complete natural.â? – Ara Guzelimian
“She radiated such concentration and pleasure, not only in the part she was playing but also in the symphony of sound all around her, that watching her became a lesson in the art of listening.â? – The New York Times
