Ein Heldenleben
Artist in residence
The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra meets the fabulous pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard. As artist in residence, Aimard is collaborating with the RCO on various programmes this season. Aimard first shot to fame with performances of extremely demanding twentieth-century compositions, but equally inspired are his interpretations of older repertoire. This concert features Beethoven's impressive Piano Concerto No. 5, for example.
