Filmed over the course of four years awardwinning director Phil Grabsky follows leading concert pianist LeifOve Andsnes’s attempt to understand and interpret one of the greatest sets of works for piano ever written: Beethoven’s five
piano concertos. Considered one of the top pianists of the age, Leif Ove Andsnes offers rare insights into the mind of a world-class pianist and access to his personal and professional life.
Against the wonderful background of Leif Ove playing these 5 pieces, we also show how these works offer a new and fresh way of examining Beethoven’s life and work.
