Piano Concertos 1 & 2
Album by Fryderyk Chopin & Christian Zacharias & Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne
Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 are two piano concerto compositions by Frédéric Chopin, composed in 1829–1830. They blend Romantic piano virtuosity with classical orchestral forms, featuring lyrical melodies, rich harmonic language and demanding solo writing, and they mark an early phase in Chopin's career as he adapted his pianistic voice to larger-scale concerted forms.
