Classical music is a repository of the past as much as the present, but Katherine Chi’s Sunday piano recital at the Gardner Museum took that idea a step further. The Canadian pianist, familiar to Boston audiences thanks to her New England Conservatory connection, performed a fascinating program built around composers reworking and reclaiming the classical heritage.
Chi’s playing was electric, alternating between ricocheting expressionism and mechanistic intensity.
