Existential and close

Listening to Igor Levit with Beethoven, you feel that you are being taken by the hand, that you are being led in a determined and yet extremely friendly manner on an exploratory tour through densely built-up terrain. An unexpected attraction captivates at every bend in the road; everything is there in its intimacy, grandeur and deep, ethical seriousness. And yet it seems close, accessible, completely present. This also applies when he takes on a work that was not actually intended for piano, such as the expansive Eroica : Beethoven is as direct, spontaneous and physical as life itself. But also as existential and uncomfortable as the things that determine our happiness and our worries. Because Igor Levit achieves that magical balance between the telling details and the meaningfulness of the big picture that defines the classic Beethoven.
