Beth Levin - Mozart - Mendelssohn - Mennin - Ravel - Wang

Brooklyn-based pianist Beth Levin is celebrated as a bold interpreter of challenging works, from the Classical and Romantic canon to leading modernist composers. The New York Times praised her fire and originality, while The New Yorker called her playing revelatory. Fanfare described Levin's artistry as fierce in it's power, with a huge range of colors. Her recital and concert appearances have become must-hear events for pianophiles.Beth makes her Urlicht AudioVisual label debut with a program of five piano masterpieces. Mozart's Piano Sonata in A Major Alla Turca, his most popular such work, leads off a program that also includes Mendelssohn's demanding and colorful Variations sérieuses, Ravel's nostalgia-tinged Menuet antique, Wang Xilin's atmospheric The Night in a Deserted Village, and a rarely-played masterpiece of American music, Peter Mennin's 5 Pieces for Piano.
