Piano Concertos nos. 1 & 4

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Lang Lang & Orchestre de Paris & Christoph Eschenbach

Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 4 are piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1795-1800 and 1806 respectively. They exemplify Beethoven's early-to-middle-period concerto writing, blending Classical-era forms with increasing expressive range through active orchestral-piano dialogue, virtuosic piano writing and adventurous harmonic exploration that points toward his later works.
First released: 18th May 2007
