TO BE HELD ON WEDNESDAY, 
JANUARY 27TH 2010 AT 7:30 PM

Pianist Dalia Lazar will perform a recital on Wednesday, January 27th 2010 at 7:30 p.m. at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. The program includes Scarlatti's sonatas in B-minor (K. 27, L.449), F-minor (K.466, L.118) and D-minor (K.141, L.422); Chopin's Barcarolle (Op.60); Levitzki’s Arabesque Valsante (Op. 6); Moszkowski's Etude in F (Op.72 No. 6);  Brahms' Four Piano Pieces (Op. 119) and Liszt’s Sonata in B-minor. This will be Ms. Lazar's third performance  at Carnegie Hall.

The concert is dedicated to the great Maria Curcio who passed away recently. Maria Curcio (1918 – 2009), was an Italian classical pianist who became renowned as a greatly influential and sought-after teacher. Her students included Dame Mitsuko Uchida, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Barry Douglas, Radu Lupu, Ignat Solzhenitsyn, Martha Argerich, and Geoffrey Tozer. Maria Curcio was the last student of the great Artur Schnabel and she passed on his teachings to her own students. Likewise, Dalia Lazar was the last student of Maria Curcio.

Dalia Lazar's playing is characterized by critics as "such noble playing," (Yediot Achronot, Tel Aviv),  "un sentimento profundo" (Panorama, Venezuela), "virtuosismo y impecable fraseo" (El Nacional, Venezuela), "that rare combination of charisma, personality and terrific pianistic facility" (pianist Tzimon Barto), and "...an inspiring display of musical excellence”  (Daily Republic).
