It captures his personal perspective on one of the greatest works in the piano repertoire. Together with Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Lang Lang brings his interpretation into dialogue with the orchestra’s deep-rooted Beethoven tradition; the Gewandhausorchester premiered the work in 1811.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Beethoven, like no other composer, combines pulse, harmony and melody in perfect balance, without one dominating the others.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concerto is complemented by the composer’s Piano Sonata No. 31, Op. 110, which has special personal significance for Lang Lang: he performed it at his audition for the Curtis Institute of Music, connecting this recording with his own musical beginnings. The album also features new transcriptions of individual movements from Symphonies Nos. 7 and 9: the Allegretto from No. 7 and a personal favourite, the “Ode to Joy” from No. 9.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Deutsche Grammophon release is set for 5 March 2027, commemorating the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s death.
