Beethoven: Complete Piano Concertos Lisiecki (2dvd

Complete Piano Concertos Jan Lisiecki Academy of St Martin in the Fields 2 DVD SET

The star pianist Jan Lisiecki was highly praised by the press for his complete recording of Beethoven's 5 piano concertos: A great complete recording. The progressiveness of Beethoven's piano concertos is made more than inspiringly clear by Lisiecki's playing alone, with this balance of rhythmic directness, disarming spontaneity and admirable depth of expression. - Rondo. Released with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, Beethoven: Complete Piano Concertos is now also released on DVD and Blu-ray at the start of Beethoven Year 2020. The pianist does not see the 5 concertos as a cycle in the strict sense: nevertheless, they belong together, because they show an incredibly differentiated picture of the composer, starting with the first two concertos, which still betray the legacy of Mozart, through the so different works 3 and 4 to the majestic E-flat major concerto. Lisiecki is fascinated by this diversity because all of Beethoven's important, sometimes contradictory facets come together here. The pianist's highest premise is musical clarity. Only then can a listener comprehend Beethoven's music as the sum of different ideas. The album is a milestone at the beginning of the Beethoven Year 2020.
