Piano Concertos no. 4 in G major & no. 5 in E-flat major

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Sir Clifford Curzon & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Rafael Kubelík

Piano Concertos No. 4 in G major and No. 5 in E-flat major are piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1806 and 1809 respectively. Musically they bridge Beethoven's Classical roots and emerging Romantic tendencies, employing formal concerto structures alongside expanded orchestral textures, heightened dramatic contrasts and increased demands on the soloist, and they occupy a central place in his middle-period output.
First released: 1998
