Piano Concerto by Mario Jazzetti, Tragic Reality of Life
The Jazzetti Symphony Concerto The Profile The Life And The Faith Across The Notes is performed in six parts representing the major phases of life as conceived by the composer. NYCS performs in the fifth movement, subtitled the Tragic Reality of Life. The soloist will be the famed Italian pianist Francesco Libetta. Matthew Gurewitsch, writing in the New York Times has called Libetta “a poet-aristocrat of the keyboard with the profile and the carriage of a Renaissance prince.”
