Ohlsson’s Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 27 | Adella

Pianist Garrick Ohlsson brings his elegant artistry to Mozart’s intimate and lyrical Piano Concerto No. 27, joining Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Orchestra for the composer’s final work in the genre. Ohlsson reminisces about growing up in a “transplanted European culture” just outside New York City, and, at age 9, attending a remarkable concert by the great Arthur Rubinstein at Carnegie Hall, surrounded by a “complete United Nations of sound in the audience.” In addition to ruminating on the old-world legacy of his teachers, the gentle giant muses on playing the most delicate of music.
