JoAnn Falletta, conductor
Yefim Bronfman, piano
JOHN ADAMS The Chairman Dances
MOZART Piano Concerto No. 24
R. STRAUSS Also Sprach Zarathustra
Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 is one of his most gripping works, full of tension, elegance, and emotional depth. Pianist Yefim Bronfman brings commanding presence to the solo role, partnered by JoAnn Falletta and the BPO. John Adams’ The Chairman Dances adds rhythmic sparkle and motion, while Strauss’s Also Sprach Zarathustra expands the orchestra into vast, cinematic territory. Together these works create a journey from crisp precision to awe, with the concert hall itself becoming part of the experience.
