Carnegie Hall: Igor Levit, Piano
$48-$174
- Igor Levit, piano
Gustav Mahler — Symphony No. 10 in F-sharp major ("Adagio"; arr. Ronald Stevenson for piano)
Ludwig van Beethoven — Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55 "Eroica" (arr. Franz Liszt for piano)
Igor Levit is "like no other pianist" (The New Yorker), and his profound programmatic choices make him "one of the essential artists of his generation" (The New York Times). The performance begins with a solo rendition of the Adagio from Gustav Mahler's Tenth Symphony—a sparse, stunningly revealing interpretation that lays bare the heart of the movement. It forms an incredible contrast to Hindemith's Suite 1922, a percussive work of pianistic maximalism, rife with interpretive possibility. Liszt's piano arrangements of the Beethoven symphonies have long been favorites of Levit's, and in the second half of this concert he treats audiences to the transcendent Third Symphony, "Eroica."
