Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 5, “Emperor”
New Jersey favorite George Li returns with Beethoven’s final and most epic piano concerto, a work of uncommon power and passion, both heroic in scope and striking in its intimacy.
-
Franz Schubert Symphony No. 9 in C Major, “The Great”
Schubert was classical music’s original tunesmith—his melodies rival Paul McCartney, Richard Rodgers, and even Taylor Swift. His songful gift is heard to maximum effect in the “heavenly lengths” of his final symphony, never performed during his lifetime.
