ONLINE EVENT: Beethoven Piano Concertos Nos 3 & 1

Renowned Polish pianist Krystian Zimerman joins forces with the LSO and Sir Simon Rattle at LSO St Luke’s for a three-concert cycle of Beethoven's five piano concertos. Originally streamed on DG Stage on the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, this opening concert begins with Concerto No 3, in the key of C minor, associated in Beethoven’s work with a sense of drama and foreboding. Second on the programme is Concerto No 1, written after No 2 but published first. Brimming with bold melodic and harmonic writing, No 1 reveals the emergence of Beethoven’s own inimitable voice.
