...program, to be conducted by Victor Manusevitch, will include the first local performance of Haydn's Symphony No. 47: Mo-zart's Piano Concerto in B-Flat, K. 456, with Israeli planist David Barillan as soloist: and Mendelssohn's rarely heard Symphony No. 1 in C-Minor...
...uproar began when at one performance she reached for a high C and nothing came out, eliciting a cry of "Take her to the cloakroom!" from the gallery.

The glittering, steely technique is still there; Horowitz can play the piano with a strength and a seething air of controlled violence...
