Pianists Tzimon Barto & Shai Wosner Step in for Christoph Eschenbach at Ravinia, 7/22 & 7/23

Renowned pianists Tzimon Barto and Shai Wosner will perform at Ravinia this week in place of Christoph Eschenbach, who is suffering from tendonitis. Barto will accompany baritone Matthias Goerne in the July 22 Martin Theatre recital that is to include Schumann's Liederkreis song cycle and Brahms's Four Serious Songs. Wosner will perform Mozart's Piano Concerto in A Major, K. 488 in a July 23 Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert that also features hits from Bernstein's Candide-conducted as planned by John Axelrod.

As scheduled, Eschenbach will conduct the July 24 CSO concert with Renée Fleming singing Strauss's Four Last Songs, the CSO Horns performing the Concertstuck for Horns, and Barto playing two Schumann rarities he recently recorded with Eschenbach: the Introduction and Allegro Appassionato and the Introduction and Allegro; and the July 25 CSO concert, an all-French evening featuring Ravel's Boléro.
