Andre Watts Plays Mozart

Mario Venzago, conductor
André Watts, piano

Gluck: Selections from Armide
Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 9, “Jeunehomme”
Schumann: Symphony No. 4

A lion of the piano and regular BSO guest soloist since his days as a student at the Peabody Institute, André Watts delights in Mozart’s first mature concerto, a masterpiece of wit and poignancy. Mario Venzago contrasts the elegance of late 18-century French opera with Schumann’s sunlit Symphony No. 4, written shortly after his marriage to Clara.
