#CHStaff Picks | “I heard pianist IgorLevit_Pianist play a recital in #ZankelHall in 2017. I had been following Levit’s career through recordings, especially his performances of late Beethoven sonatas and variations by Bach and Rzewski. When I saw the repertoire for his recital—Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations, some Rzewski premieres, and music by Shostakovich (probably my favorite composer), I was all in. The Shostakovich and Rzewski were superb, but it was the Diabelli Variations that blew me away. This was one of those pieces I never warmed to, never seemed to “get.” Levit convinced me it was a masterpiece. Its remarkable architecture, wit, pathos, and muscular virtuosity were revealed—I got it! That’s what makes #CarnegieHall performances unforgettable—they trigger epiphanies, part the clouds, and make you hungry for more.”—Craig Z, Marketing
