“So compelling is Evgeny Kissin’s pianism,” writes The Times of London, “so fresh his response to even the most familiar phrases, that one hangs on every note.” He performs Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 with the outstanding MET Orchestra on this program, which also marks the return of Music Director and Conductor James Levine after a two-year hiatus. The legendary conductor leads the ensemble through excerpts from Wagner’s Lohengrin and Schubert’s “Great” Symphony.

At their third meeting, Mr. Brown said, Mr. Levine began talking about sex.
“At that point I think it was basically a combination of fatigue and being young that allowed me to go to the bed ― it was the bottom bunk ― and have him masturbate me,” Mr. Brown said. “And then, almost immediately, he asked for reciprocation. And I have some very, very strong pictures in my memory, and one of them was being on the floor, and he was on the bottom bunk, and I put my hand on his penis, and I felt so ashamed.”
