3:00PMPreludes: Jan Lisiecki, piano
“Lisiecki plays with gentle judiciousness, aristocratic reserve and a touch that tends shadowyy without losing a core of clarity. But it is in poetic wisfulness that Lisiecki shines. The highlight of the program was Chopin’s Prelude in C Minor (Op. 45), written a few years after the Op. 28 set and here refined and eloquent with Lisiecki’s rubato giving the pulse an undertated ebb and flow, for a portrait of quiet, lonely searching.”
