Perahia at Kennedy Center
In October, I won tickets to a performance by Murray Perahia.
Unbelievable luck! Won tickets to WPAS performance by Murray Perahia at Kennedy Center. Bach, Schumann, and more this weekend.
— Mike Schultz (@schultzmt) October 15, 2009Perahia spellbinding in first half of Bach Partita and Beerhoven op. 109. Audience response and buzz is enthusiastic.
— Mike Schultz (@schultzmt) October 17, 2009Chopin my favorite part, especially Etude and Scherzo. Playing here seemed especially free and attractive.
— Mike Schultz (@schultzmt) October 17, 2009Attention flagged during Schumann, but Kinderszenen (?) is not my cup of tea. Perahia got more out of it for me than most.
— Mike Schultz (@schultzmt) October 17, 2009Brahms Intermezzo and another Etude for generous and satisfying encore.
— Mike Schultz (@schultzmt) October 17, 2009Valid theory? Used to listening to younger performers. Feel like they call attention to selves; older artists like Perahia focus on music.
