Pianist Leon Fleisher has withdrawn from a recital tonight at the Ravinia Festival. According to a notice posted on the Ravinia web site, he is ill.
Fleisher was scheduled to perform works for the left hand by Dina Koston, Leon Kirchner, and Brahms, as well as two-hand works by Schubert and Bach. Fleisher suffered for more than 30 years from a neurological ailment that often prevented him from playing with his right hand, and became an expert in left-hand repertoire.
There will be no substitute performer tonight. Fleisher's performance will be rescheduled later in the Ravinia season, the web site says.
客串只是客串而已吧=）他一直都在弹琴的。右手病的几年录了些左手的作品，得到不少好评。9几年右手应该是恢复了，又弹双手作品了。他是Curtis还有其他几个学校的教授，所以演出时间应该不多才给别人造成他不弹了的印象吧=）
