Denk knocks 'em dead in Schenectady

Pianist Jeremy Denk wowed his Schenectady, New York, audience Tuesday evening with an unusual Beethoven/Ives program:



"Performing at Union College, the 37-year-old American offered only two sonatas, but each is a doozy: Ives' 'Concord' and Beethoven's 'Hammerklavier.' And his approach to each work was unexpected, applying a spacious romanticism to the Ives and highlighting the modern extremes in the Beethoven."

And then there's Jeremy Denk's popular blog, Think Denk.



Jeremy Denk makes his Celebrity Series debut as part of Rob Kapilow's What Makes It Great? on Saturday, May 10 at NEC's Jordan Hall. Kapilow and Denk will explore Beethoven's "Waldstein" sonata.
