Beethoven himself played the world premiere of his Third Piano Concerto. For him, it was not a problem at all, as he knew exactly what he wanted to hear. Quite the opposite for the conductor and musicians! He had not yet finished writing the notes for the orchestra, so the accompaniment was a real adventure. However, this performance was already a great success, and today the concerto is considered one of the most beautiful piano concerts of all time. The "Reformation Symphony" is also a musical monument full of radiance and depth. Majestic sounds meet festive hymns, while the famous melody "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" leads the symphony to its climax. This work is a passionate expression of faith and hope that touches both the heart and the mind.
