The 17-year-old pianist Yoav Levanon's debut album, entitled A Monument for Beethoven, unites works by Liszt, Chopin, Mendelssohn, and Schumann that were written to fundraise for the Beethoven monument in Bonn. Discover here: This album honors the contribution made by those four composers – especially Liszt – when the city of Bonn staged festivities in 1845 to mark the 75th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth. (Beethoven had died in 1827.) In particular, they helped to raise funds for the statue of Beethoven, sculpted by Ernst Julius Hähnel, which then after stood in Bonn’s cathedral square. As Yoav Levanon says: “To me, their involvement in memorializing Beethoven is emblematic of the great fellowship and solidarity that exists among musicians.“ Video: Kamera & Produktion #ClassicalMusic #Liszt __________ Warner Classics ► Website: Subscribe to our: ► YT- Channel: ► Newsletter Follow us on: ► Facebook: ► Instagram: ► Twitter: ► YouTube: Listen to us on: ► Spotify: ► Apple Music: ► Deezer Warner Classics is the home of classical music, featuring iconic high audio quality recordings from the greatest classical legends, opera stars and orchestras of the last century.
