Cleveland Orchestra: Ohlsson bring solace amidst smoky skies17 Jul 2026
“Ohlsson made a deft, light-fingered case for the piece, which wastes no time getting into some dense pianistic material. The second movement came across as especially comforting: Ohlsson opened delicately with an extended solo before being gently joined by bassoonist Catherine Van Handel. The outer movements emphasized the pianist’s agility while retaining his elegant economy of movement.”
