Lortie Plays Beethoven
Pianist Louis Lortie says he always prefers live performances to studio recordings. He says, "There's a spirit, an immediacy that you just don't get in the studio." Louis Lortie plays Beethoven's first piano concerto with spirit and immediacy, along with Kurt Masur and the Cleveland Orchestra. The performance was from the Cleveland Orchestra's annual winter residency in Miami. Plus, hour one is an all-Nordic hour.
