Thomas Garvey, author of the blog The Hub Review, reviewed Garrick Ohlsson's recital - our first official blog review, for those keeping score. Here's a tiny sample to tease you into his Ohlsson post, but I recommend taking a look at the blog in detail:
"In the closing piece of his program, the "Les Adieux" sonata (No. 26, the latest piece in the evening), Ohlsson again found an exquisite poise between sobriety and joy; the piece, inspired by the Austrian imperial family's flight from, and eventual return to, war-torn Vienna, is neatly balanced between resignation, anticipation, and celebration, and Ohlsson beautifully evoked all three voices, reaching his most blinding speeds yet in the final Vivacissimamente."
