Piano Concerto no. 1 / Piano Sonata Op. 28 (Pastoral)

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Alicia de Larrocha & London Symphony Orchestra & Michael Tilson Thomas

Piano Concerto No. 1 / Piano Sonata Op. 28 (Pastoral) is a pairing of two compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, published in 1801. Musically, the concerto displays Beethoven's early Classical concerto style with virtuosic piano writing set against symphonic orchestration, while the Op. 28 Pastoral sonata adopts a lyrical, song-like character and episodic structure that reflects the transition from Classical forms to early Romantic expressiveness, marking a formative period in the composer's development of harmonic boldness and expanded expressive range.
