Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 1 with Sir András Schiff Trailers

Sir András Schiff performs Beethoven’s dramatic Piano Concerto No.1 on a stunning model of a historic 1822 fortepiano. Schiff describes Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major, Op. 15 from 1795 as “absolutely huge in its concept for that time. I've always thought that there's something Shakespearean about Beethoven in the way comedy, tragedy, drama, and tenderness are all present at the same time.” Filmed in black and white, this concert is a beautiful showcase of craftsmanship and musicality. Schiff sits at a period-accurate recreation of a historic 1822 fortepiano crafted by Conrad Graf. He is joined by The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment for a captivating, historically informed, performance. This concert was filmed on 6 June 2022 at Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall in London.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
