Concerto pour piano Nos. 4, 5 "Empereur"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & André Previn & Emanuel Ax

Piano Concertos Nos. 4 and 5 (the second commonly known as the 'Empereur') are concertos for piano and orchestra by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806 and 1809 respectively. They exemplify Beethoven's mature middle-period style, with expanded structures and intensified piano-and-orchestra dialogue that balances lyricism and virtuosic display, the fifth concerto in particular featuring broad, quasi-military gestures and a notably grand scale within the concerto repertoire.

First released: 1994
