VILLA-LOBOS Sinfonietta No. 1 (A memória de Mozart)
GRIEG Piano Concerto
DVOÅ'ÃK Symphony No. 8
Though Grieg's romantic concerto was written in a cold climate, its beautiful melding of virtuosity and lyricism-and echoes of Norwegian folk music-will not only melt your heart, but dazzle you, too. . . especially when it's in the hands of our stunning soloist who has garnered raves around the world. Fusao Kajima and the ASO then present DvoÅák's beloved score, inspired by nature and overflowing with joyful melodies.
"To put it simply, Lisitsa is a gigantic talent. She has infallible fingers, imagination and a control of dynamics-from the softest to the loudest sounds-little short of electrifying." Baltimore Sun
"The technique glitters like cut glass." Chicago Tribune
