Inspired by this piece, the contemporary composer Henze created his own “Tristan” for piano, electronic music tape, and orchestra. Henze’s work, performed in collaboration with the Gewandhaus Orchestra conducted by Welser-Möst, is also sure to draw attention. While centering on these two “Tristans,” the program also features the Adagio from Mahler’s final (unfinished) symphony, as well as Franz Liszt’s famous “Liebestraum” and “Abendlied” as the opening and closing pieces—a touch that is quintessentially Levitt.\n\nIgor Levit\nBorn in Novgorod, Russia, in 1987. He demonstrated precocious talent by making his orchestral debut at the age of six and went on to win competitions around the world. He signed an exclusive contract with Sony Classical and has released numerous major works.\nSony Music\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Classical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595660845345,"sku":"194399434826","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/194399434826.jpg?v=1790482166","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ec\/products\/194399434826","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
