After his successful album “Mendelssohn”, the Canadian pianist now dedicates his recent album to the five Piano Concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven – once again in the double role as soloist and conductor, accompanied by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.

Jan Lisiecki believes that “Beethoven certainly did not conceive the 5 concertos as a cycle. In spite of this, they belong together because they reveal such a differentiated picture of Beethoven, starting with the Piano Concertos No. 1 and 2”, which still disclose the legacy of Mozart, the very different works No. 3 and 4 up to the majestic Piano Concerto No. 5 in E flat major.

Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58 has played a significant role in Jan Lisiecki’s career. In 2013, he performed the work with Orchestra Mozart Bologna under Maestro Claudio Abbado, replacing an indisposed Martha Argerich at very short notice. It is also this concerto the young Canadian pianist made his Carnegie Hall debut with – together with The Philadelphia Orchestra under Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
