Piano Concertos nos. 3 & 4

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

Piano Concertos Nos. 3 & 4 are two concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1803 and 1806 respectively. They occupy Beethoven's transition from his early to middle period, combining Classical forms with emerging Romantic harmonic language and expanded piano–orchestra interplay that emphasises dramatic contrasts and increased virtuosic demands on the soloist.
First released: 1987
