Yannick and pianist Hélène Grimaud have performed together around the world, and their inspired partnership shines in this performance of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20, a showcase for Grimaud’s acclaimed artistry. In Yannick and the Orchestra’s continuing exploration of the music of the great 20th-century composer Florence Price, you’ll hear her Fourth Symphony, a boldly hued work that incorporates melodies from spirituals, including a beautifully orchestrated theme from “Wade in the Water.”
