More Details About Pianist Nelson Freire in Recital
More Information
<p>Pianist Nelson Freire first surged to international prominence in 1959, with a season of recitals and concerto appearances in key cities throughout Europe, the United States, Central and South America, Japan, and Israel. Since that time he has steadily built on that initial acclaim to become a highly sought-after soloist of the first rank. In recent seasons he has performed with the London Philharmonic Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, toured Europe with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra under the direction of Riccardo Chailly, and presented enthusiastically received recitals and orchestral appearances across North America with performances in Baltimore, Fort Worth, Montreal, New York City, Portland, and Seattle. He appears frequently with the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood and tours the U.S. in a duo-recital program with Martha Argerich. Freire marked the 150th anniversary of Chopin's death with a triumphant performance of the composer's Piano Concerto No. 2 in Warsaw.</p>
