Piano Concerto No. 5 / Piano Sonata in F minor 'Appassionata'

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & András Schiff & Staatskapelle Dresden & Bernard Haitink

This release is a compilation of two major piano works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1809 and 1804–1806 respectively. One piece features an expansive, orchestral concerto setting that balances virtuosic solo writing with large-scale formal architecture, while the other is a concentrated, stormy piano sonata notable for its intense motivic development, dramatic contrasts and advanced harmonic language that mark his middle-period style.
