New York Philharmonic

Music director Alan Gilbert opens the New York Philharmonic's season with Stravinsky's pagan polyrhythmic piece The Rite of Spring. But before any figurative virgins are sacrificed, Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes is featured in György Kurtág's spacial "miniature piano concerto," …quasi una fantasia…, and in a more traditional vein, Beethoven's melodious Piano Concerto No. 3.
