One of the greatest performances of this fantastic concerto of all time Period

[NicholasWingComposer]

The third movement drives, Lewis plays with such intense passion even more so than on his album and the Steinway piano sounds utterly amazing! The timpani is also mic'd, compressed and tuned to perfection! Absolutely brilliant!

[normhall]

That was really terrific! Paul Lewis nailed it as did the orchestra. Bravo to all.

[taslibtaylor-boyd]

This performance just kept forcing my face into a smile... So good to be alive. Thank you.

[gabrielmerello]

Desde luego ver eso y cotejarlo con lo que hacen los músicos pop, es comparar la belleza imperecedera con la ordinariez más absoluta.

[iztchelalcala]

Paul William's interpretation is magnificent. His technique is perfect. Terrific orchestra!

[lesfoster]

Just wanted to know has Paul Lewis ever performed at Saint George's concert hall in Bradford, he is so incredible and brilliant this orchestra deserves a lot of credit too the sound is so sharp and very pleasing to the ear l would go to watch this pianist were ever he was playing.

[nealbaker]

Great performance by everyone, pianist, conductor and orchestra. Love to see more of the orchestra on Youtube. Go Iceland!

[elianarougier]

Maravilloso!Sólo Beethoven es capaz de crear esta magia entre el piano y la orquesta, emocionante!!

[alunchurcher]

My favourite classical works, loved t the first time of hearing it and every time since. Beethoven was a genius composer and long live his music.

[marchbird]

Outstanding interpretation of this extraordinary concerto. Great Paul Lewis!

[curtbarnes]

One of the positives of living in our suicidal age is Paul Lewis. With great audio quality!

[gyongyikardos]

This drives me crazy! I never heard from you guys before! Heart's and mind's delight, even heals the body and the energies!!!

[BenTrem]

Only the 1st, but no, I must.
At first? an unsympathetic rendition of what I have so long loved.
_And then?_ Of just why I had so long loved, so well.
And then?! *How dare you represent Beethoven's **_bravura_** and courage? and strength!*

_A vous, Msr Lewis ... et merçi._
