Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor / "Choral" Fantasy
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Seiji Ozawa & Rudolf Serkin
This release pairs a piano concerto and a short concertante fantasia for piano and chorus by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1803 and 1808 respectively. Musically the pieces sit at the crossroads of late Classical and early Romantic styles, featuring virtuosic piano writing, dramatic orchestral textures and a concluding vocal-orchestral passage that reflects Beethoven's expanding formal ambitions and foreshadows his larger choral works.
