Beethoven: Piano Concerto No 5 'Emperor'

Elisabeth Leonskaja, piano
Clemens Schuldt, conductor

Elisabeth Leonskaja, now in her seventies, brings the experience and insight of decades to Beethoven's 'Emperor' Concerto.
In the first half, Clemens Schuldt acknowledges Leonskaja's heritage with two hugely popular symphonies by the greatest Soviet composers. The shenanigans and wit of Prokofiev's 'Classical' contrast starkly with the intense tragedy unleashed by Shostakovich.

Presented by Kate Molleson
