German composer, Ludwig van Beethoven is widely regarded as one of classical music’s supreme composers who radically transformed every musical form in which he worked. In a musical language which directly appeals to the listener, Beethoven combined elements of the traditional with the innovative but always in his own style; it remains as striking today as it did when it was written.
This CD couples Beethoven’s most famous symphony and most famous piano concerto – with the striking Prometheus Overture as a bonus.
John Lill is famous for his performances of Beethoven’s music and Walter Weller’s Beethoven symphony cycle is highly acclaimed.
Review
'You’ll know the meaning of the term ‘heart-rending beauty’ when you listen to the slow movement of the Piano Concerto.'
