Concerto: A Beethoven Journey
Grabsky and his Seventh Art team followed world-renowned concert pianist Leif Ove Andsnes for four years as he attempted to comprehend and perform Beethoven's five piano concertos, one of the greatest sets of piano compositions ever composed. The final product is a film with extravagant cinematography, a characteristic of Grabsky and Seventh Art's aesthetic. Leif Ove Andsnes, widely regarded as one of the greatest pianists of our time, provides uncommon insights into the thinking of a world-class pianist and access to his personal and professional life. While Leif Ove Andsnes performs these five pieces, we also dispel the numerous myths surrounding Beethoven's life. Beethoven's recent biography is perhaps the most illuminating of all recent works.
