JEAN-SÉBASTIEN BACH
Partita No. 2 in C minor BWV 826

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART
Andante and Five Variations for Piano Four Hands in G major K. 501

EDVARD GRIEG
Sonata for Cello and Piano in A minor Op. 36

To see Martha Argerich perform is an unparalleled experience. The so-called Lionness of the piano is known for her audacity, enthusiasm, and fiery temperament, both on and off the concert stage, qualities that breathed incredible caprice and poetry into Bach’s Partita No. 2 in C MinorNext Kovacevich and Argerich performed a Mozart piano duo, Andante and 5 Variations for 4 Hands in G Major, sharing conspiratorial looks as they played Mozart’s music with childlike joy. The evening came to a delightful close with Mischa Maisky and his lyrically passionate playing, joining Argerich to rise together to new heights of tempestuousness and inventiveness with Grieg’s Cello Sonata.
