Pianoforte-Concerto no. 3 in C minor, op. 37

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Wilhelm Kempff & Berliner Philharmoniker & Paul van Kempen

Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37 is a piano concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and first performed in 1803. The work blends Classical forms with a dramatic C minor idiom, featuring vigorous orchestral writing, broad lyricism in the slow movement and an increasingly assertive piano–orchestra dialogue that anticipates the composer's move towards his middle "heroic" style.
First released: 1955
