What did our critic think of SAN DIEGO SYMPHONY INTRODUCES A WORLD PREMIERE at Jacobs Music Center? Alexander Malofeev was 13 when he won the prestigious International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians under 18. His technical prowess was exceptional, but his musicality at such a young age was what convincingly set him apart. Now 23, he has lived up to expectations, garnering rave reviews for performances with major orchestras around the world. Nor did he disappoint on this evening with Prokofiev’s 3rd piano concerto, but I’ll start with the most familiar work on the program, Beethoven’s 3rd symphony, the “Eroica.” It was the only work after intermission, and conductor Rafael Payare led without a score.
