Leif Ove Andsnes Quotes

“I played this amazing work when I was 17 in my debut recital in Norway. I didn’t understand much about the layers of the music then, but I was fascinated by it nonetheless. It is one of Beethoven’s great late sonatas, and I think I can bring so much more to it now. Performing it is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long while. I’ve done so much Schubert in past seasons, and I’d like to do late Beethoven now.” 
Leif Ove Andsnes

“My ongoing relationship with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra is very important to me. We do one or two projects a year and we look forward to every concert together. We performed at Mostly Mozart a few years ago and have in the meantime done both European and Asian tours. I’m very happy that my journey with Mozart is with them. We’re looking very long term at Mozart’s wonderful concertos and plan to perform them – and hopefully record them – as often as possible.”
