Beloved virtuoso Emanuel Ax takes on Brahms’ epic First Piano Concerto with his full artistic arsenal. “Ax’s fleet fingerwork and the integrity of his interpretation mesmerized his audience” (The Guardian). Michael Tilson Thomas leads one of his all-time favorite works, Alban Berg’s Three Pieces for Orchestra, which MTT describes as a musical journey to the “borderline of sanity and looking at what happens when our obsessions get hold of us and lead to attractive but ultimately destructive places.”
