Experience Beethoven’s piano concertos in the hands of a legend. In the first of a two-concert cycle, Rudolf Buchbinder, one of today’s foremost Beethoven interpreters, joins the Qatar Philharmonic to perform three towering works, the sparkling Concerto No. 2, the poetic Concerto No. 4, and the dramatic Concerto No. 3.
This program traces Beethoven’s evolution from Classical brilliance to revolutionary depth, with Buchbinder’s hallmark clarity, and expressive power.
This concert launches our traversal of the five Beethoven concertos with Buchbinder. The second concert in the series follows on 31 January, featuring the jubilant Concerto No. 1 and the majestic “Emperor” Concerto No. 5. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear the full cycle live with one of the great Beethoven pianists of our time.
