Ronald Brautigam and Die Kölner Akademie at Concertgebouw

O wydarzeniu

'Beethoven with a grin', was Volkskrant's opinion about Ronald Brautigam's recent CD, the latest of fifteen albums with all of Beethoven's piano works. Brautigam plays them and turns them into fresh and spicy. Today you can hear the Fourth Piano Concerto: 'I really believe that he wanted chamber music, not a competition between orchestra and soloist', says Brautigam. In his inventive concert he makes a plea with Die Kölner Akademie.

Mozart and Beethoven

Brautigam also recorded all of Mozart's piano concerts and with precisely this evening's company: Die Kölner Akademie under the baton of Michael Alexander Willens. Gramophone judged their interpretation of the Piano Concerto no. 21 'Superior': 'it sounds almost like an opera, with the piano as a diva.'
You will also hear two overtures, Haydn's L'isola disabitata and Beethoven's Egmont.
