PSO Presents “Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody” to Open Season
"Shishkin demonstrated immediate and consistent clarity in passages often at lightning speed, with hands gliding across the keys. Wind solos abounded, including flutist Denis Savelyev, oboist Lillian Copeland, clarinetist Pascal Archer and English horn player Gilles Cheng. While Milanov kept tempos steady and the style broad when required, Shishkin frequently reiterated intricate and complex piano sections with ease."–Nancy Plum
