The pianist Paul Lewis, who names the legendary Alfred Brendel as his mentor and sits on international competition juries with the distinguished likes of Marta Argerich and Stephen Kovacevich, visits America’s shores all too seldom. Beginning in Edinburgh, his fall calendar has him shuttling from the U.K. to China, Austria, Korea, and Australia—happily with touchdowns in Vancouver (October 25) and Seattle (October 27). His West Coast program is the second of his “Mozart+” series (hence: “Mozart+ 2”), consisting of Carl Maria von Weber and Frédéric Chopin sandwiched between the Salzburg wonder’s sonatas Nos. 17 and 13, in that order, which are both in the key of B-flat major. (Lewis’s “Mozart+ 1” established the template with sonatas with a major and a minor-key sonata in C bracketing Debussy and mostly Poulenc.) Apart from his exquisite touch and lucid sense of architecture, Lewis has a sixth sense for crosscurrents between composers who on the surface seem to have little in common. Cherish any chance to hear him, and prepare to be spellbound. —Matthew Gurewitsch
