Krystian Zimerman joined forces with Sir Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra in December 2020 in Beethoven’s five piano concertos. Their spellbinding performances harvested a bumper crop of critical superlatives. Here was “history in the making”, wrote The Times in its five-star review, while Bachtrack noted, “Purity and clarity are hallmarks of Zimerman’s playing and there was an almost aristocratic composure to his phrasing and a velvet touch … Everything was meticulous, not … a quaver out of place.”
Tracing a path from Classicism to Romanticism, the five works are masterpieces of a genre revolutionised by Beethoven. It was as a virtuoso pianist that he first made his name and he premiered all but the Fifth Concerto himself - his deafness was so serious by then that he no longer felt confident about performing in public.
