Alice Sara Ott interprète le Concerto pour piano et orchestre n°3 en ut mineur, op. 37, de Ludwig van Beethoven aux côtés de lOrchestre philharmonique de Radio France dirigé par Mikko Franck. Enregistré le 27 janvier 2018 à lAuditorium de la Maison de la Radio (Paris).
Le Concerto pour piano n°3 de Beethoven est créé à Vienne le 5 avril 1803, le même jour que l’oratorio Le Christ au mont des Oliviers et la Deuxième Symphonie. Ecrit en ut mineur, tonalité chère à son compositeur, il se découpe en trois mouvements. L’Allegro con brio s’ouvre sur une longue page orchestrale avec l’exposition des deux thèmes principaux, ensuite repris par le pianiste. Au cours du développement, un dialogue s’établit entre soliste et orchestre. Le mouvement s’achève par une cadence au piano, inspirée du premier thème.
Au cœur du Largo, les arpèges du piano soutiennent le chant entonné conjointement par la flûte et le basson, empreint de sérénité. Gérard Condé suggère une « transposition musicale de la scène du balcon de Roméo et Juliette ». Enfin, dans le Rondo, orchestre et soliste conversent avec vigueur.
« Il s’agit à coup sûr du premier «grand» concerto beethovénien […], marquant un progrès très sensible dans l’équilibre entre soliste et orchestre, enfin traités en véritables partenaires », remarque François-René Tranchefort.

thanks aveshsu for his kind care for the time listing.
The legend surrounding the Goldberg Variations, performed here by Jean Rondeau for All of Bach, is such a nice one. Count Hermann Karl von Keyserlinck was having trouble sleeping and asked Bach for some pleasant music to pass the time, to be played by Keyserlinck’s harpsichord prodigy Johann Gottlieb Goldberg.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on June 6th 2017 at the Concertgebouw, Bruges. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB or consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
