Piano Concertos no. 1 & no. 4

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Wiener Philharmoniker & Simon Rattle & Alfred Brendel

Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 4 are two piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and first performed between 1795 and 1807. Musically they bridge the Classical and early Romantic eras, featuring demanding solo piano writing, sustained orchestral dialogue and an expansion of harmonic language and formal experimentation that marks Beethoven's transition from his early to middle compositional period.
