Garrick Ohlsson, piano

Fantasy and fugue in G minor by JS Bach , BWV 542, S 463 sehen in

Kay Kempin, 22nd January

As I settled into my seat in the Kaufman Theater at the 92nd Street Y, the man next to me turned to his wife to say: “This concert is going to be quite the journey.” Snickering to myself, I dismissed the man’s comment as trite. But by the end of the all-Liszt program, I felt bulldozed by Garrick Ohlsson’s performance.
