The program includes Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 and Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9, “From the New World.” Pianist Natasha Paremski is the featured soloist for the Rachmaninoff piece. Read Lawrence Toppman’s review, where he describes Paremski’s performance as jaw-dropping:
“She had a wide array of weapons in her arsenal: a muscular assurance in loud passages, delicacy in quiet ones, trills and runs where she delineated each note, cataclysmic cadenzas, skittering playfulness where Rachmaninov smiled and fireworks where he frowned. Prodigious technique freed her to make interesting interpretive choices, and nothing fazed her.”
