Filled with short and spirited solo works, this recital by Orion Weiss—hailed as a “brilliant pianist” by The New York Times and praised for his “head-spinning range of colors” by the Chicago Tribune—lets listeners revel in lesser-known gems by major 19th- and 20th-century composers, from Tchaikovsky to Copland.
