Beethoven 250
An explosive dialogue between soloist and orchestra.
Beethoven’s ground-breaking piano concertos established him as one of the greatest of all composers. Performing the full cycle is the dazzling Uzbek pianist Behzod Abduraimov, one of the finest of his generation.
“He has fingers that seem as though they were made to create rainbows.”
The Los Angeles Times.
A favourite of audiences and critics, his triumphant return to Perth will be his first Beethoven piano concerto cycle; an extraordinary milestone to experience live.
In this concert we continue our journey through Beethoven’s piano concertos with the second and triumphant fourth.
