Mr. Ax brings his signature eloquence to a program of three of Beethoven’s timeless piano sonatas, each brimming with a virtuosic richness that contrasts the sparse, modern innovations found in short pieces by Schoenberg. “Mr. Ax...played with youthful brio, incisive rhythm, bountiful imagination, delicacy when called for, and thundering power…” —The New York Times
