Rameau, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert

Lifschitz’s Montreal debut centred on the Viennese classics, including a fresh unsentimental account of the Schubert D899 Impromptus. But there was razorsharp Rameau too, as well as a generous (and eclectic) sprinkling of encores. Compelling thoughtfulness stalks every finely-honed bar. Paul Riley
