Thirty-six-year-old Russian-German pianist Igor Levit made his Cleveland Orchestra debut in 2015, which the orchestra’s our copy calls “astounding.” I wouldn’t know; I wasn’t there. But Levit, who now lives in Berlin where he is a music professor, has been building an international reputation as an interpreter of the works of J.S. Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Liszt.
When he returns to Cleveland however, it’s crowd favorite Mozart he’ll be tackling when he joins the orchestra for his Piano Concert No. 27. The orchestra will close the program with 19th-century Austrian composer Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 (“Romantic”). The orchestra’s music director Franz Welser-Möst will be back on the podium.
