Janina Fialkowska and the Toronto Symphony's adventure with Lutosławski's Piano Concerto

Stanley Fefferman, 26th October

James Gaffigan advised the audience about to hear him conduct Witold Lutosławki’s Piano Concerto to back off like you would from an Impressionist painting, in order to get an impression of the whole. When you do so, it’s a very romantic work. Otherwise, the score resembles ‘a science experiment’ because parts of it are notated without bars and cannot be conducted.
