From Upbeat, 1:40 pm on 22 May 2017

The piano takes centre stage at The Piano for Christopher’s Classics. Pianist Diedre Irons along with NZSO Concert master Vesa-Matti Leppanen, Principal Viola Julia Joyce and Principal Cello Andrew Joyce combine their talents to perform repertoire centred on Schubert’s Adagio and Rondo Concertante in F, Mahler’s only Piano Quartet, which was only rediscovered in the 1960s, plus works by Schnittke and Brahms.
