Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Dejan Lazić & Australian Chamber Orchestra & Richard Tognetti

This compilation album presents piano works by Ludwig van Beethoven composed between 1801 and 1821. It juxtaposes an early, introspective sonata and a later, formally advanced sonata with a concerto that blends Classical formal balance and emerging Romantic expressiveness, reflecting Beethoven's evolution in harmonic language, piano writing and structural ambition.
