大象传媒

With Louise Fryer

An all-Beethoven Proms programme. Distinguished pianist Paul Lewis launches his complete cycle of piano concertos with the exuberant First and the more introspective but tensely dramatic Fourth. He is partnered by Jiri Belohlavek and the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra with whom he recently recorded all five concertos. And there is more characteristic Beethovenian drama with two heroic overtures: one battling against oppression and the other recounting the legend of the Creatures of Prometheus who were created with fire from the gods. Presented by Katie Derham.
