Bold, brazen and yet exceedingly refined, Beethoven's Concerto For Piano And Orchestra 3 is a beguiling musical narrative in three movements of joy, magic and loss. A genial theme is volleyed between the piano and strings before unraveling to a dark, emotive reverie. Suddenly, the subtle piano is eclipsed by an aggressive, fast moving symphonic blitz, and the piece closes with dynamic orchestral aplomb.
