Finally: the piano concertos 0 to 7 by Beethoven as interpreted by Michael Korstick are available here, and once again the German pianist sets new interpretational standards. In the meantime, volumes have been filled with attempts to approach the question of an adequate interpretation of Beethoven's works, and with the indispensable elements of grandeur, drama and inwardness, the study of these works remains timelessly topical and will continue to open up new perspectives in the future.
This complete recording of all the piano concertos arranges the six works that Beethoven assigned an opus number in the appropriate order, leaving all the other pieces to follow on the fourth volume. This project would not have been possible without the generous support of Dr. Ernst Denert. For his patronage, Michael Korstick was able to fulfill a long-cherished dream for himself (and for us!). © CPO
