Jonathan Biss in Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto

Pianist Jonathan Biss – celebrated for his masterful Beethoven interpretations – returns to Stockholm and meets the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra in Beethoven’s pioneering fourth piano concerto. In the concerto, Beethoven highlights the piano from the very beginning, as the pianist opens the concerto alone. Then follows a dense and varied dialogue with the orchestra; Franz Liszt likened the dramatic interplay of the second movement to the struggle between the hero and the monster in Gluck’s opera Orpheus and Eurydice.
