Having signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon at fifteen, Lisiecki’s sixth album for the label sees him leading the Academy of St Martin in the Fields from the piano for all five Beethoven concertos. The September 2019 release, recorded live from Konzerthaus Berlin, is the first within the label’s celebration of the Beethoven Year 2020. His earlier recordings have been awarded with the JUNO Award and ECHO Klassik.

A World Without Beethoven?
Self

Beethoven: Complete Piano Concertos (Jan Lisiecki)
Pianist
Following his acclaimed Mendelssohn concerto recording earlier in 2019, celebrated Canadian Pianist Jan Lisiecki has released a complete cycle of Beethoven’s piano concertos on September 13. The recording is part of Deutsche Grammophon’s celebration of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary in 2020. “If one thinks of the Beethoven concerti as novels", says Lisiecki, “each offers a deep spiritual journey. Performed together, this definitive anthology gives new light to the power of Beethoven’s genius.” ”A sparkling performance that seems refreshingly spontaneous - intellectually perfectly formed" – Der Tagesspiel.
