Mostly Beethoven at Kaplan Penthouse

Vivien Schweitzer, reviewing for The New York Times, writes that pianist Garrick Ohlsson played only Beethoven on his recital atLincoln Center's "Little Night Music" series at its Mostly Mozart Festival, just as he did last year:



“Lincoln Center hinted they’d like some Mozart this year,” Mr. Ohlsson said,
laughing, but told the organization it could have “anything, as long as it’s
Beethoven sonatas.”



Presumably with a wink, Ohlsson did slip in Mozart's Sonata in C (K. 330) as an encore.



Read Schweitzer's complete review of Ohlsson's recital (login required).

The Celebrity Series will present Garrick Ohlsson in an all-Beethoven recital at NEC's Jordan Hall on February 10. No word on any possible Mozart encores, yet.
