The startlingly talented 16-year old Czech pianist Lukás Vondrácek comes to Symphony Hall on Maestro Ashkenazys personal recommendation, to contribute the light-fingered and brilliant Piano Concerto No 1 to the Prokofiev anniversary celebrations. The unfamiliar sounding Shostakovich work is in reality his intensely moving and dramatic eighth string quartet, most effectively arranged for string orchestra with the Composers approval by the conductor Rudolf Barshai.
