We reported earlier that Franz Welser-Möst had withdrawn from Cleveland’s cycle of Beethoven piano concertos because he is still recovering from the effects of successful cancer treatment.
It has just been confirmed that his chosen pianist has pulled out in sympathy.
Igor Levit is to be replaced by Stephen Hough, Yunchan Lim, Garrick Ohlsson, Minsoo Sohn and Orion Weiss. (Sohn is Lim’s teacher.)
Cleveland’s Associate Conductor Daniel Reith will take over stick duties.
The post Update: Igor Levit won’t play without Franz appeared first on Slippedisc.
