VENUE NOTE:
Always a favorite of Cleveland audiences, the Labèques return to perform the Martinů’s tour de force concerto for two pianos, full of jazzy inflections and high-speed fireworks, pausing only in the slow movement for moments of serene calm. The concert concludes with Tchaikovsky’s iconic Romeo and Juliet, whose sweeping melodies perfectly evoke the breathless passion of the two young lovers.
