With all the lectures and masterclasses it's easy to forget what a great pianist Robert Levin really is. His control of the instrument is breathtaking. And not a harsh note anywhere in this gigantic piece. So many big name pianists could learn so much from him if they were inclined... I, too, love that he plays along with the orchestra.

Love that he's casually playing along with the orchestra. Can tell he loves it. Big up Zander. He's an OG

Oh cool ...just stumbled upon this. I was at this performance ... it was an all-Beethoven concert. Just fantastic!

Hello Neena. You're just so lucky . I'm sure you will keep that performance in your mind. It's like to be in Vienne in the 1790's and 1800's . Please, tell them to go in France ( or in Europe ) !
