The Boston Globe enthused that, “Garrick Ohlsson is the most versatile of America’s important pianists.” Ohlsson’s passionate and probing approach to the emotionally rich music of Scriabin is breathtaking, and these programs are an unusual opportunity to revel in a composer who bridged the Romantic and modern eras. “This is music from the twilight of Romanticism, when composers all over Europe were exploring—independently for the most part—new ideas about tonality, structure and expressivity.” (The New York Times)
