Allegro Films | Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto, 1st Movement | Barenboim on Beethoven Series (6/13) @allegrofilms | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In 1970, conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim and his close friend, filmmaker Christopher Nupen, collaborated on a thirteen-part series about Ludwig van Beethoven's music – marking the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the composer's birth. Lost to the British public for half a century, this series of films has never been shown together on national television in the UK. Now, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary in 2020, the episodes have been resurrected in their original form.
In Episodes 6 and 7, Barenboim provides us an up-close look at Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4, which Barenboim describes as “one of the strongest reminders of the comprehensiveness of [Beethoven’s] vision”; a soulful and contemplative work that finds the composer at his poetic best.
Music piece excerpts performed:
01:32 Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58
03:02 Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58
04:44 Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58 (Complete 1st Movement)
