David Aladashvili

Is 13 a lucky number? Georgian pianist David Aladashvili certainly seems to think so: Born on a Friday the 13th and a pianist since age 13, he recently made an impression with his debut CD, Opus 13. The disc includes two noteworthy Op. 13 compositions—Scriabin's Preludes and Schumann's Symphonic Études—plus 13 new pieces by as many young composers. So tonight you’ve got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya?
