Piano Concerto no. 5 / Piano Sonata no. 23

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Wiener Philharmoniker & Simon Rattle & Alfred Brendel

This release pairs two compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, originally composed in 1809 and 1805 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Beethoven's mature classical style, featuring virtuosic piano writing, broad dramatic contrasts and formal innovation that reflect his middle-period exploration of scale and expression.
