Along with superb technical facility, he brings a true showman's cocktail of ease and energy to his performances. Watts' aesthetic (and massive hands) are well suited to present Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg's richly romantic Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 16. The concerto opens with large energetic chords cascading down the keyboard that will be recognizable to many audience members. This piece is a fantastic work to hear live because its passionate soaring melodies provide both pianist and orchestra ample opportunities to shine.
