Nice celebrates its stars: the Bringuier brothers, at the piano and baton, explore Beethoven's most intimate and personal works: his Piano Concerto No. 4 and his rare Symphony No. 4.

The Concerto for piano and orchestra No. 5 is one of Beethoven's pure treasures of power and emotion. With its raw poetry and majestic, grandiose outbursts, it is in a way the undisputed masterpiece of the heroic period the composer was living through at the time. Nicolas Bringuier will take us into the innermost recesses of this monumental work, which is far more secretive than it appears - just like the Egmont Overture, a veritable hit of the repertoire, with its powerful breath directly inherited from Goethe's literary drama from which it derives. His Symphony No. 4 , on the other hand, is played far too infrequently compared with its counterparts. And yet, this work, which is almost contemporary with Concerto No. 5 , shows a peaceful, almost Apollonian side to Beethoven that was soon to be lost on him, as the ups and downs of life and an increasingly invasive deafness made him very shady.
