The Norwgian pianist is joined by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra for a complete cycle of Beethoven's Piano Concertos

The Norwegian Leif Ove Andsnes is barely 45 – practically a child in the classical world – and yet there are few pianists in the world today who know Ludwig van Beethoven so well. For the past few years, he has been almost entirely focused on the great innovator, and recorded all five of his piano concertos to great acclaim; the first two discs in the series each won multiple awards, and the third one is expected to do the same. When he appeared in London to perform the Piano Concerto No. 5 this January, the critics fell into raptures. What a coup for the BBC Proms, then, to have Andsnes perform the entire cycle over three nights. He will be backed by Claude Abbado's Mahler Chamber Orchestra, who maintain close ties with the pianist.


Want to discover the full BBC Proms 2015 programme?


For Prom 9, on 23 July, Andsnes will present the 1st (1796-7) and 4th concertos (1805-6), while Prom 10 the next day will feature the 2rd (1800-1). Then, on 26 July, Andsnes will tackle the 2nd (1795) and 5th (1809-10) concertos, the first and last that Beethoven composed. For each performance, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra will pair Beethoven's mighty work with one of Stravinsky's (Rite of Spring, The Firebird) most significant orchestral pieces, drawn from his mid-career neo-classical phase. Do not miss this chance to see some of the cornerstones of the repertoire performed by one of their finest interpreters. 


£5 Promming tickets will be available on each date.

  • How to Book

    BOX OFFICE

    Tickets for individual concerts will be released on Saturday 16th May. From 9am that morning, you can call the box office at 0845 401 5040, collect tickets in person at the Royal Albert Hall or purchase them on the venue’s website. Until then, the BBC’s Proms Planner allows you make a personal ‘shopping basket’-style selection of concerts that will speed up the process of booking.

    PROMMING

    Of course, the proms wouldn’t be the proms without promming. Before each concert, up to 1,350 £5 unreserved standing spaces are available, both in the Royal Albert Hall’s pit and on the top circle. This gives you a chance to attend concerts were all the seating has sold out, and to see world-class music for a minuscule fee. To acquire them, you’ll need to arrive before the concert and queue outside the hall. The time this takes depends on the concert – expect over an hour for a particularly hot ticket – but it is unusual for the hall to fill completely. When the queue reaches a certain length, attendants hand out raffle tickets, which allow you to retain your place in line if you leave and return within thirty minutes.
