BNY Classics: Ax Plays Brahms

— About this Performance —
There’s so much expressive power in this famous piano concerto – one of Brahms’ most personal works and a cornerstone of the repertoire. Who better to hear it from than the world-famous (and Pittsburgh favorite) Emanuel Ax? Pair this delicacy with Beethoven and a world premiere of a work by Jacob Bancks, whose music has been praised as “colorfully orchestrated, invitingly lyrical” (The New York Times) and “highly caffeinated” (The Boston Globe).
