Each time Emanuel Ax visits Philadelphia he delights PCMS or Philadelphia Orchestra audiences. "His pianism is always thoughtful, lyrical, lustrous." --Washington Post. Always a sure sell out, for his February recital Ax turns his prodigious talent to the work of Beethoven—including the beloved 'Pathétique' sonata—and Chopin. Having received numerous awards and honors, including Grammys for his recordings, the breadth of Ax's artistry in concert is always something to behold: '[He] played with youthful brio, incisive rhythm, bountiful imagination, delicacy when called for and thundering power when the piano fought back' --New York Times.
