Beethoven Emerges
Pianist Paul Lewis says that when he plays Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto, he hears Beethoven's own identity emerging. He says he hears "a personality that's becoming more and more defiant. There's a sense of struggle...you feel this conflict." Lewis and the Halle Orchestra perform Beethoven's Third, in concert at the Proms in London. Plus, the swashbuckling Finnish Radio Symphony plays Hector Berlioz'"Le Corsaire Overture," inspired by a novel about pirate adventures.
