Igor Levit plays William Bolcom's 2nd Piano Concerto - Levit, Chan, MCO (World Premiere)

[@mikeg2924]

Beautiful! Can't praise this too much. The music, the orchestra, the soloist, the conductor! This is truly an ideal premiere. I can't believe he's 84 but this is only his 2d PC. Gives hope to the rest of us.

Thank you. Streamed on tv both Documentation and the premiering William Bolsom’s Second Piano Concerto. Igor Levit ,The Mahler Chamber Orchestra conducted by Elim Chan were amazing! The composer was happy applauding them! Great success!

Great to hear he's composing as well as always. Fine performance of a work that should be played often.

Maestro Levit is one of the most talented and adventurous pianists working today. Bravo! Lovely work by one of my favorite composers.

[@enriquesanchez2001]

My goodness! It is SO RARE these days when I listen to a NEW PIECE of music, that I have thoroughly enjoyed so much! Mr. BOLCOM and Mr. LEVIT - you have both won me over! ♥♥♥♥♥ Here is a piece that will be played many times in the future! 😁

Schönes Werk

wow difficult piece I can tell without seeing the score. I may struggle playing this one.

[@milansimich4055]

Sorry, but no one really cares about this music anymore. I've heard Levit many times and he's trying to stay relevant, but this is One and Done music. PS I used to work for NY Philharmonic. When we were planning new season we used to joke that if we put on Beethoven's 5th every night we would sell out every night. Of course, we couldn't do that.

Your are totally right; let's play Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner over and over and over. I really do not wonder why the average concertgoer is 110 and deaf in the meantime...

Snarky Milan. Doubt that the NY Philharmonic misses you.
