The 5 Piano Concertos

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Arthur Rubinstein

The Five Piano Concertos is a collection of piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1795 and 1811. Spanning early Classical idioms to mature early-Romantic innovations, the works combine virtuosic piano writing with concertante orchestral dialogue and mark key stages in Beethoven's development as a composer of large-scale instrumental forms.
