Description
180-gram double LP
Three of the world's biggest classical music stars, Benjamin Grosvenor, Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Nicola Benedetti, team up to record Beethoven's Triple Concerto. They are all graduates of the BBC Young Musician competition and are very good friends, but this is the first time they have appeared on an album together. The recording was made in June 2023 with the Philharmonia Orchestra and their chief conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali, after the artists had previously performed the concerto on tour in the United Kingdom.
The concert is accompanied by a selection of Beethoven's rarely performed folk songs with the famous baritone Gerald Finley.
