Piano Concertos IV & V
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Gerhard Oppitz & Gewandhausorchester Leipzig & Marek Janowski
Piano Concertos Nos. IV and V are compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806 and 1809 respectively. They exemplify late-classical to early-romantic concerto writing: the Fourth features a conversational interplay between solo piano and orchestra and a chamber-like intimacy, while the Fifth is broader and more heroic in scale with expansive orchestration, both marking a pivotal development in Beethoven's concert repertoire.
First released: 1996
