It was to have been the culmination of Leonard Bernstein's Beethoven cycle: the recording of all five piano concertos with a leading pianist of the younger generation. What it became is an example of enlightened music-making, the document of an incredible empathy between conductor, soloist and orchestra - an empathy so strong that it overrode even the maestro's death. In Krystian Zimerman, Bernstein had found a congenial partner. Concertos Nos. 3, 4 and 5 had been recorded before the maestro's death on 14 October 1990. Born in Zabrze, Poland, on 7 December 1956, Krystian Zimerman won the first prize in the Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 1975. After expanding his repertoire and studying in London in 1980, he made a name for himself in numerous concerts and recordings as one of the most talented pianists of his generation. 这就是伯恩斯坦致力与年轻一代的优秀钢琴家灌录全五首贝多芬钢琴协奏曲的纪录。让观众充分感受到一个愉悦的製作，纪录了指挥家与独奏家和乐团强烈的互融。齐玛曼，伯恩斯坦变为了一对融洽的合作伙伴。 可惜， 在完成了第3，第4和第5协奏曲后，大师于1990年10月14日去世了。齐玛曼生于1956年12月7日波兰Zabrze市，在1975年赢得了华沙的肖邦大赛的一等奖。及后在伦敦学习扩大他的演奏曲目，更被誉为这一代最有天赋的的钢琴家之一。 ComposerLudwig van Beethoven TitlePiano Concerto No.4 in G major, op. 58 Length39 minutes TitlePiano Concerto No.5 in E flat major, op. 73 "Emperor" Length44 minutes ConductorLeonard Bernstein SoloistKrystian Zimerman OrchestraVienna Philharmonic Orchestra Video DirectorHumphrey Burton
