thoughts on three B’s

Kirill Gerstein 1
Kiril Gerstein, pianist

Tonight is the last of the three concerts making up the first of Classical Series B at the Oregon Symphony.  The program is a variation upon the famous “Three B’s” concert format – usually Bach, Beethoven and Brahms.  This time it’s Bach, Bernstein and Beethoven.  It pits two pieces by very well-known composers that are not performed as often as their other works against the mighty Seventh Symphony of Beethoven.
