2015 has been quite a year for Pianist Jeffrey Biegel. One of the most sought after and versatile pianists in the world, he maintains a concert schedule that brings him all over the world performing some of the most innovative and eclectic programming one could imagine. Biegel is a champion of the classical repertoire as well as a favorite among contemporary classical composers to debut their work. Not content with merely performing, and despite his full break-neck schedule, Mr. Biegel has managed to find time to record three new classical CDs in 2015 (and a fourth is in the can awaiting release).

For the last century, the three B's of classical music have been Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, and their catalogues remain the programming bedrock of most symphony orchestras around the world. On Friday, Oct. 23rd the New York Philharmonic gave a very strong argument for Brahms remaining at the very top of the programmatic choices. It was an extremely well-considered and magnificently executed combination of very old and very new (if you can say that about Brahms) selections that combined for a deeply fulfilling performance.
