Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 4
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Arturo Toscanini & Ania Dorfmann & Rudolf Serkin & NBC Symphony Orchestra
Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 4 are two piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1795 and 1806. They span Beethoven's early-to-middle period and illustrate the transition from Classical concerto conventions toward greater Romantic expression, combining formal clarity with virtuosic piano writing, prominent piano–orchestra dialogue and expanded orchestration that foreshadows his later works.
First released: 10th March 1992
