Piano Concerto Nos. 1 & 2

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

Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 are two piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and first performed in the late 1780s–1790s (No.2) and around 1798–1800 (No.1). Stylistically they bridge Classical and early Romantic idioms, combining classical concerto forms, virtuosic solo writing and orchestral dialogue that mark an important stage in Beethoven's development as a composer for piano and orchestra.
First released: 9th February 2004
