Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No 1 in C Op 15
- Ludwig van Beethoven
-
Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No 3 in C minor Op 37
- Ludwig van Beethoven
In one of 2016/17’s classical highlights, world-leading pianist Murray Perahia celebrates the genius of Ludwig van Beethoven in Perahia plays Beethoven, a four-concert series at London’s Barbican with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. Over the course of the season, the acclaimed American applies his penetrating intellect and exquisite musicianship to the brilliant German’s much-loved piano concertos, directing all five from the piano.
For this series-opening concert, Perahia contrasts the Classical elegance of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No 1 with the dark, brooding drama of his Piano Concerto No 3. Academy Leader Tomo Keller directs the orchestra in the overture to Beethoven’s ballet The Creatures of Prometheus – a fiery, whirlwind of an overture evoking Prometheus’s daring escape from Olympus of Greek mythology – before Perahia takes centre-stage for the main event.
A pre-concert talk will take place at 6:30pm in the Barbican Hall.
