Piano Concertos nos. 2 & 4
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & John Lill & Royal Scottish National Orchestra & Sir Alexander Gibson
Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 4 are orchestral works for solo piano and orchestra by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1795 and 1806 respectively. They occupy different positions in his output, with the earlier concerto retaining Classical-era clarity and virtuosic charm while the later concerto emphasises a more conversational soloist-orchestra interplay, expanded harmonic language and greater introspection that point toward his middle-period innovations.
First released: 1975
