Robert Levin is both international star performer and high-flying academic. Few people know more about the age of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert than he does – but don’t expect a dusty lecture here! Levin’s researches have led him to conclude that Beethoven’s performances were more like jazz than today’s classical performances. One recent reviewer wondered, “Was Levin channelling the wild-maned Beethoven of contemporary portraits? His boldly spontaneous playing certainly made it seem so.” (Chicago Tribute)
