Isata Kanneh-Mason makes her second appearance this season with Prokofiev’s head-spinning Third Concerto. Challenging and often fiendishly fast, it has a relentless, dizzying quality, only occasionally pausing for moments of beautiful, rippling melancholy. In his day, composer, organist and pianist Max Reger was a major figure but he is best known to us for his variations on tunes by other composers. His Mozart set weaves a musical web full of refinement and sunshine out of a delicate melody from the A-major piano sonata, and conductor Michael Sanderling pairs it with an early symphony from Wolfgang, written when he was just fifteen.
This concerts ends at approximately 3:45pm.
