Mighty Keys
passionate piano + symphonic grandeur
Pianist Alon Goldstein, an MSO audience favorite, is back in the solo spotlight, supplying all the drama, passion and expressive verve that Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1 demands. Everything is kicked up a notch in this concerto, and Goldstein meets this monumental moment head-on. Lt. Kijé Suite, Prokofiev’s first film score, delivers the biting humor that made it his best-known and most-frequently recorded work.
