Concerto: A Beethoven Journey
Directed by Phil Grabsky, Concerto: A Beethoven Journey seeks to reveal Beethoven in a way rarely seen before with world-class pianist, Norway’s Leif Ove Andsnes mastering Beethoven’s five piano concertos. It offers an in-depth exploration of Beethoven’s life and music by peeling away many myths, making it perhaps the most revealing biography on the late music maestro.
