Beethoven: Complete Piano Concertos

After his successful album "Mendelssohn", the Canadian pianist now dedicates his next album to the five piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven - once again in the double role as soloist and conductor, accompanied by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.

Jan Lisiecki believes that "Beethoven certainly did not conceive the 5 concertos as a cycle. In spite of this, they belong together because they reveal such a differentiated picture of Beethoven, starting with the first two concertos", which still disclose the legacy of Mozart, the very different works No. 3 and 4 up to the majestic E flat major concerto No. 5.

The album includes the concerto the young Canadian pianist made his Carnegie Hall debut with - together with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
