George Li

Classical CD Reviews: George Li plays Tchaikovsky, Jansons conducts Shostakovich, and Andris Nelsons conducts BSO premieres

Terrific, fiery playing from George Li, one of the most compelling young pianists on the scene; Mariss Jansons’ recording of Shostakovich’s Tenth trudges from start to finish; irrefutable proof of Andris Nelsons’ excellence as a new-music conductor.

Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra at Symphony Hall

The BPYO is as responsive, confident, technically skilled, and emotionally expressive an orchestra as they come.

Concert Review: Pianist George Li and Conductor Ben Zander Make Magic

Where does such musical maturity and – let’s face it – genius come from? Pianist George Li’s phrasing, the beauty of his sound, his perfect pedaling and expressive rhythm – all were in play.

Classical Music Sampler: February 2012

February feels like the ‘New November’: concerts of real interest during the weekdays and too many great concerts during the weekends.
