One of the best pianists of our generation, Leif Ove Andsnes has been dazzling audiences with the five Beethoven piano concertos for the last four years. He performs primarily with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, but has also worked with the best orchestras and conductors across the globe. Award winnin film-maker Phil Grabsky has been with Andsnes throughout this journey, and now presents this film which is much more than a tour documentary. Rather, this release is an in depth exploration into a misunderstood artist- Ludwig van Beethoven- as is revealed in these five works. "His Beethoven is revolutionary... it's phenomenal..." (Der Rheinische Post) "Shines with some of the best Beethoven playing you will ever hear." (BBC)
