The Complete Beethoven Piano Piano Concertos

Performed by Grammy-winner Garrick Ohlsson, performing with the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchesta

Reference Recordings is proud to present The Complete Beethoven Piano Concertos played by Grammy-winner Garrick Ohlsson, performing with the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra, conducted by Sir Donald Runnicles. A student of the late Claudio Arrau, Ohlsson is especially noted for his masterly performances of the works of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, as well as the Romantic repertoire.

He is the only American ever to win first prize in the International Chopin Piano Competition. This new recording represents a pinnacle in his career. The Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra consists of top talent from across the world, including more than 220 musicians from 90 orchestras and 65 institutions of higher learning, many performing together each summer for over 25 years. The Festival, founded in 1962, also welcomes yearly some of the most sought-after soloists and visiting artists in classical music today.

Under the baton of world-renowned conductor Sir Donald Runnicles, these musicians come together to gather inspiration from the mountain setting and to provide spectacular music for Festival audiences. This album was recorded during live Festival performances in July 2022, produced by Victor Muenzer, and engineered by Kevin Harbison.
