When a musician like Bryce Dessner, who became known as an electric guitarist in the band The National, writes a piano concerto, it is a special event. And when Alice Sara Ott gives the world premiere of this concerto, it is even more so. The Japanese-German pianist is long past her phase as a hyped young artist; she goes her own way, sensitively and energetically, freely and precisely. Or as a critic once put it: "Quite stunning". Two more solos are worth mentioning: Mari Eriksmoen is one of those singers who can actually sing the soprano part in Mahler's Symphony No. 2 "misterioso" and in triple pianissimo. And Ives' "Unanswered Question" is a great moment for every orchestral trumpeter.
