Piano Concertos Nos. 2 & 4
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Stephen Kovacevich & BBC Symphony Orchestra & Sir Colin Davis
Piano Concertos Nos. 2 & 4 is an album of two piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1795 and 1806. They are in the Classical style; No.2 reflects Beethoven's early training with clear forms and balanced dialogue between soloist and orchestra, while No.4 uses expanded harmonies and gives the piano a more conversational role as he moved into his middle period.
