Concerto: A Beethoven Journey
Grabsky and his Seventh Art team spent four years filming leading concert pianist Leif Ove Andsnes' attempt to understand and interpret one of the greatest sets of works for piano ever written: Beethoven's five piano concertos. The end result is a beautifully crafted film with lavish cinematography, which is a trademark of Grabsky and Seventh Art. Leif Ove Andsnes, regarded as one of the greatest pianists of his generation, provides rare insights into the mind of a world-class pianist as well as access to his personal and professional life. We also dispel many myths about Beethoven's life while listening to Leif Ove Andsnes perform these five pieces. Perhaps the most revealing biography of Beethoven is the brand-new one.
