Irish Chamber Orchestra at the RDS - April, 17 2010 - Leon Fleis

Saturday, 17 April, 8.00pm

Leon Fleischer has the most famous right hand in classical music – famous because for 30 years it didn’t work. Hailed as ‘the pianistic find of the century’ in his teens, he enjoyed worldwide acclaim in the 1950’s and 60’s, before a rare disease lost him the use of his right hand. Confounding medical experts, he made a triumphantly two-handed return to the stage, where he is once again celebrated as one of the musical giants of his time.

‘…a symbol of the indomitable human spirit…an inspiration…’ - New York Times

Leon Fleisher director/piano Katherine Jacobson Fleisher piano

Mozart - Symphony No. , KV 16, E-flat major Mozart - Concerto for two Pianos K. 242 Mozart - Adagio & Fugue Mozart - Symphony No. 41, KV 551, (Jupiter)
