Emanuel Ax Plays Beethoven

Alexander Shelley pairs bold contemporary voices with timeless classics as Pacific Symphony welcomes legendary pianist Emanuel Ax in a prelude to the Beethoven Revolution Festival with Beethoven’s poetic Piano Concerto No. 4. Long admired for his depth, clarity and humanity at the keyboard, Ax brings a lifetime of insight to one of Beethoven’s most intimate masterworks.

“Emanuel Ax offers Beethoven playing of rare clarity, humanity, and profound insight.” —The New York Times
