“Emperor” Concerto

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & London Symphony Orchestra & Sir Colin Davis & Stephen Kovacevich

Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73, known as the 'Emperor' Concerto, is a piano concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1809 and premiered in 1811. The work blends grand orchestral gestures and virtuosic piano writing with a harmonic language that bridges Classical clarity and emerging Romantic expressiveness, and it occupies a notable place in Beethoven's late concerto output as an example of his evolving approach to large-scale form and orchestral–piano dialogue.
