Beethoven: Complete Piano Concertos (2 DVDs) Barenboim (Piano, Conductor) Staatskapelle Berlin (Orchestra) [Commentary] Live recording of concerts from the "Ruhr Piano Festival" held at the Jahrhunderthalle in Bochum from May 21st to 23rd, 2007. The Ruhr area is known as one of Germany's leading industrial regions, but this piano festival, held annually in the Ruhr region, is one of the largest music festivals in Germany. It is a place where pianists from all over the world regularly gather. Pollini appeared at the first opening ceremony, and it has become a gateway not only for already famous professionals but also for talented young musicians. This year's highlight was the complete cycle of Beethoven's piano concertos by Barenboim and the Staatskapelle Berlin. Barenboim recorded the complete set with Klemperer conducting when he was young, and later he conducted himself and recorded the complete set with Rubinstein as the soloist. Furthermore, he recorded the complete set with the Berlin Philharmonic, conducting and playing the piano. He has already been involved in the complete set three times. This time, he will be conducting and playing with his current ensemble, the Staatskapelle Berlin, and we can expect to enjoy his powerful performance style of recent years.
