Episode Synopsis

In this episode of 'Classics Unlocked', Graham Abbott explores another chapter in the extraordinary creative output of Ludwig van Beethoven: his piano concertos. Beethoven revolutionised the way composers composed, and the way performers performed. Today, it is easily forgotten that Beethoven's piano concertos were written for himself to display both his compositional and pianistic capabilities.This episode of Classics Unlocked featured the following recording:BEETHOVEN ODYSSEYColin Davis, conductorStephen Kovacevich, pianoBBC Symphony OrchestraLondon Symphony OrchestraDecca Eloquence 484 1728 (12-CD)DISCOVER: https://Eloquence.lnk.to/00028948417285OA Hosted on Acast.
