ICO Associate Artist Kristian Bezuidenhout returns with another pairing of Beethoven piano concerti.

Written as Beethoven was descending into profound deafness, Concerto no. 2 still brims with zest and exuberance. You can feel the energy surging through the piece.

His much-loved Piano Concerto no. 4. combines a relaxed lyricism with wildly high spirits. Whether you’re familiar with it our not, we guarantee you’ll be swept away by its beauty.
