Jan Lisiecki

"Que serait le monde sans Beethoven ?" C'est la question posée par ce documentaire musical de la Deutsche Welle. Pour y répondre, le film explore comment les innovations de Ludwig van Beethoven continuent d'avoir un impact bien au-delà de la musique classique, 250 ans après sa naissance.

Following his acclaimed Mendelssohn concerto recording earlier in 2019, celebrated Canadian Pianist Jan Lisiecki has released a complete cycle of Beethoven’s piano concertos on September 13. The recording is part of Deutsche Grammophon’s celebration of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary in 2020. “If one thinks of the Beethoven concerti as novels", says Lisiecki, “each offers a deep spiritual journey. Performed together, this definitive anthology gives new light to the power of Beethoven’s genius.” ”A sparkling performance that seems refreshingly spontaneous - intellectually perfectly formed" – Der Tagesspiel.
