From the Archives - Beethoven's Piano Concerti: Act IV

Ludwig van Beethoven.
Ludwig van Beethoven.

Beethoven’s fourth piano concerto has been called the “Cinderella” of the group. We’ll hear it in a virtuoso performance that’s as close as possible to one from Beethoven’s time. Brilliant playing and inspired improvisations are the “glass slipper” that fit perfectly.
