Following the critically acclaimed 2021 album Echoes Of Life, pianist Alice Sara Ott has recorded a selection of works by Beethoven for her latest album. The centerpiece of Beethoven is the Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 15, on which she is accompanied by the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and its principal conductor Karina Canellakis. Ott and Canellakis were asked by Apple Music to record this concerto, which led to her and the orchestra becoming the stars of the Apple Music Classical app’s introductory video earlier this year. The pianist then selected a series of solo works to complement the concert, including “Für Elise” and the “Moonlight Sonata.”
Beethoven will be released digitally on July 28 and physically on September 29.

Karina Canellakis offers the first fruit of her exclusive Pentatone collaboration with a recording of Bartók’s 4 Orchestral Pieces and Concerto for Orchestra, together with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, of which she is the Chief Conductor.

The Concerto for Orchestra is one of Bartóks final works, full of folk tunes, and utterly colourful and virtuosic for all the instruments. As such, it’s an ideal piece to showcase the congeniality between the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and its star Chief Conductor.
