Beethoven 250: Emperor Concerto
Jonathan Biss interprets Beethoven’s fifth piano concerto, The Emperor Concerto. In parallel with studying Beethoven’s five piano concertos, Biss has commissioned and premièred as many new pieces by contemporary composers, pieces that in various ways relate to Beethoven’s concertos. Here, Biss plays Brett Dean’s Gneixendorf Music – A Winter’s Journey, an intriguing musical portrait of the celebrated composer.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
