Beethoven:
Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58
Piano Concerto No. 5 in E flat major, Op. 73 ‘Emperor’

Yevgeny Sudbin (piano)
Minnesota Orchestra, Osmo Vänskä

SACD

After huge success with their cycle of Beethoven Symphonies on BIS, Osmo Vänskä and the Minnesota Orchestra return with the great composer’s Piano Concertos performed by the sensational young pianist Yevgeny Sudbin.

_“Sudbin makes it clear that he has little use for Beethoven weighed down, as it were, with excess baggage…Instead, his delectably light-fingered brilliance and virtuosity shines a new light on some of the most familiar scores in the repertoire…Such mercurial pianism keeps Vänskä and the Minnesota Orchestra on their toes but they follow their soloist as to the manor born.”_April 2011, Gramophone Magazine
