“Igor Levit is like no other pianist” (The New Yorker). Tonight’s recital highlights his widely acclaimed approach to programming, featuring Beethoven’s monumental Diabelli Variations alongside Rzewski’s The People Will Never Be Defeated variations. Levit’s Beethoven performances routinely attract worldwide excitement, and when he recorded these works together, The New York Times called it “an unusually high-profile (and persuasive) case for a modern work’s acceptance into the canon.” The Guardian agreed, writing in its five-star review that few versions, “including one by Rzewski himself … match Levit’s combination of supreme, sometimes breathtaking accuracy and his sustained intensity. The same sense of freshness and discovery runs through his Diabelli Variations.”
