David Greilsammer is really special:  a fabulous pianist and a fabulous, inventive, insightful programmer.  This program is typical -- indeed, Greilshammer has already played it in New York to great effect -- using proto-Modernist Janáček as a frame for Baroque pieces from France and Germany, uncatagorizable early-Classical C.P.E. Bach (I'd call him a Modernist myself), and a new piece by Montrealer-from-Israel Ofer Pelz.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Here's the kind of deep thinking you turn to this List for:  since Ofer Pelz lives in Montreal, I'm going to send you to a restaurant that, while it doesn't (as is often claimed) serve Montreal-style food, is named after a place in Montreal:  Chez Ma Tante -- which is just a wonderful spot, whatever kind of food it serves.
