Pauline Adamek from ArtsBeatLA.com presents Exit Reviews, a series of ‘vlogs’ or video reviews.
Last night was one of the Tuesday Classics at the Hollywood Bowl.
Stunning Georgian pianist and Sony Classical recording artist Khatia Buniatishvili played Rachmaninoff’s passionate Rhapsody. Dvořák’s celebrated “New World” Symphony concluded the program, which marks the U.S. debut of 25-year-old Israeli conductor Lahav Shani.
Buniatishvili was a revelation, playing with passion and verve, and providing a sense of the pyrotechnic in her attack of the piano, as well as a sublime sensitivity when required. It was a breathtaking performance.
Here follows my short video about the evening:
