Masterworks I
“Vibrant, daring, intellectually curious.”
We kick off the Masterworks Season on November 8 with a fiery display of musicianship from Canadian pianist Janina Fialkowska, joining the orchestra for Beethoven’s iconic Piano Concerto No. 4. The concert opens with Symphony in C Major, a work by Mozart Contemporary Carl P. Stamitz and a gem from the classical era, and concludes with Symphony No. 3 by Louise Farrenc, whose musical language is steeped in Romantic French tradition.
About Janina Fialkowska
For 50 years, concert pianist Janina Fialkowska has enchanted audiences and critics around the world. She has been praised for her musical integrity, her refreshing natural approach and her unique piano sound thus becoming “one of the Grandes Dames of piano playing” (Frankfurter Allgemeine).
Her career was launched in 1974, when the legendary Arthur Rubinstein became her mentor after her prize-winning performance at his inaugural Master Piano Competition, calling her a “born Chopin interpreter” laying the foundation for her lifelong identification with this composer.
In October 2021 her autobiography, A Note in Time, was published to universal acclaim by Novum Publishing in London, UK. It is now available worldwide as hard cover and e-reader. (“Mesmerizing memoir”- “A totally absorbing read” – “A volume to savour and treasure”).
