Description:

Maestro ZachariasPerforming and Conducting Beethovens Complete Piano Concertos!Zacharias is a master pianist known for his numerous legendary recordings on EMI, but in recent years he has also been active as a conductor, with a repertoire ranging from symphonies by Schumann and C.P.E. Bach to *The Mercy of Titus*, *The Marriage of Figaro*, and *The Merry Wives of Windsor* (as Nicolai). Now available is a video recording of Zacharias conducting and performing all of Beethovens piano concertos with the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, of which he has been the music director since 2000. As expected, his interpretations are lucid and his tone is pristine. Although these are all live performances, the audiences enthusiasm is well-deserved, as the performances are truly magnificent.The bonus footage includes scenes from rehearsals and footage of Zacharias discussing various topics.
