Pianist Jonathan Biss – Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 3/Caroline Shaw: Watermark; Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra; Malin Broman, violin (Orchid Classics)
More than a decade ago, pianist Jonathan Biss dreamed up a project with his friends at the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra to commission five new works. Each one paired with one of Ludwig van Beethoven’s five piano concertos. The fifth and final recording was recently released. It features Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3, with the world premiere recording of Caroline Shaw’s piece: Watermark. The piece is Shaw’s response to the third Beethoven concerto, and she says that it's woven from strands and patches and patterns of that piece. Find out more on New Classical Tracks, with host Julie Amacher.
