Piano Concerto no. 4 / Symphony no. 2
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique & Robert Levin
This recorded pairing presents orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806 and 1802 respectively. The music bridges Beethoven's late Classical roots and his emerging individual voice, featuring a piano concerto that foregrounds conversational interplay between soloist and orchestra alongside an early symphony noted for its buoyant energy, classical clarity of form and expanding orchestration that hints at his later innovations.
First released: 3rd February 2003
