"Levin plays with a rare percussive audacity, making notes and phrases that usually rush by in the background stand out in high relief."
- The New Yorker
Bright Circle is an exquisitely programmed showcase of the interconnectivity underlying the tradition of solo piano in classical music. Pianist Beth Levin shines as she navigates masterpieces by Schubert and Brahms alongside their very new counterpart, David Del Tredici’s 2014 work Ode to Music. Levin’s performance is particularly remarkable in the way she places the Del Tredici within the context of Schubert’s Piano Sonata No. 20 and Brahms’s Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel. Del Tredici’s composition is an excellent choice to be set alongside the two romantic stalwarts, as it aims to recapture the expressive language of 19th century European composers. Essentially, Bright Circle is defined by music that takes older ideas and reconstitutes them in a new, transformative setting.
