Jonathan Biss concludes his Beethoven/5 commissioning project bringing to a close one of the most ambitious and innovative Beethoven release series of the 21st century. Over the course of five years, Biss selected a composer to write a piano concerto in response to one of Beethoven’s. The final installment of the project, featuring the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Malin Broman, pairs Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with a new work by Caroline Shaw. Watermark is a reimagination of Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto through both direct quotation and subtle reflections of its harmonic language, creating a dialogue between past and present. Shaw “imagines Beethoven imagining it, and in doing so, creates something wholly original.”
