Piano Concerto no. 5 "Emperor" / Cello Sonata no. 2
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Artur Schnabel & Gregor Piatigorsky & London Symphony Orchestra & Sir Malcolm Sargent
This release is a classical album of two compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, originally composed in 1809 and in the late 1790s. The programme pairs a large-scale, virtuosic piano concerto from Beethoven's middle period with a more intimate cello sonata from his earlier output, illustrating a shift from Classical balance toward expanded forms, heightened dynamism and greater expressive range that foreshadowed Romantic tendencies.
First released: 31st July 2001
