ZSOLT BOGNÁR piano
You may have seen him here in Dayton on this season’s "Concertmaster’s Choice" recital accompanying our own Jessica Hung. Now Zsolt Bognár steps into the spotlight for the lead role on Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24. Praised by the German press for his sold-out 2012 Berlin Debut at the Young Euro Classic Festival at the Konzerthaus in Gendarmenmarkt acclaimed as “intellectually shaped, powerful, and of crystalline precision,” Zsolt's performances have also been described by European critics as “overwhelmingly visceral… a phenomenal sound world realized through maximum palette.”
1786 saw the Viennese premiere of Mozart's magnificent 24th. With the most comprehensive scoring of all Mozart’s piano concertos, it has earned accolades as the one of his most effective, masterfully coordinating all the separate musical elements. Now regarded as one of Mozart's greatest compositions it has inspired composers from Beethoven to Richard Strauss and beyond!

Three things about Mozart’s 31st symphony stand out: it had no Minuet, as did other symphonies of that period; Mozart scored it for many instruments (also unusual for the period); and it was the first of his symphonies to use clarinets.
DPO Concertmaster Jessica Hung follows with her interpretation of Mozart’s first Violin Concerto. Crammed with flashy passages that show off the musicians’ skills, it’s a real crowd pleaser.
Mozart was Richard Strauss’s favorite composer. Perhaps Strauss had Mozart’s personality in mind when he composed Don Quixote for cello, viola, and large orchestra in 1897. Based on Miguel de Cervantes’s book Don Quixote de la Mancha, the score tells the story as instruments take the part of the story’s major characters.
