Beethoven Klavierkonzert

In the organizer's words:

Beethoven played the premiere of his Third Piano Concerto himself. No problem for him, as he knew what he wanted to hear. The conductor and musicians were quite different! He had not yet finished writing the notes for the orchestra, so the accompaniment was a real adventure. But even this performance was a complete success and today the concerto is one of the most beautiful piano concertos ever.
The "Reformation Symphony" is also a musical monument full of radiance and depth. Majestic sounds meet festive hymns, while the famous melody "Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott" leads the symphony to its climax. This work is a passionate expression of faith and hope that touches both heart and mind.
