Piano Concerto no. 5, "Emperor"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Vladimir Ashkenazy & Wiener Philharmoniker & Zubin Mehta

This piano concerto is a composition by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1809. It exemplifies early 19th-century concerto practice by juxtaposing a dominant solo piano part with expansive orchestral writing, featuring virtuosic piano passagework and a broad structural ambition that helps bridge Classical concerto forms and emerging Romantic aesthetics.
