Hi Holly, the concert was awesome! Here's information from the BSO website that I believe was announced before the start of the performance:
"Regrettably, we have just been advised that Leon Fleisher is ill and cannot play tonight's concert. Pianist Anton Kuerti (father of BSO assistant conductor, Julian Kuerti) has agreed to step in at extremely short notice. The Kuertis will perform the Beethoven 'Emperor' concerto, as scheduled. "
