Piano Concertos nos. 1 & 2

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Solomon & Philharmonia Orchestra & Herbert Menges & André Cluytens

Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 are two piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, first published in 1801. They inhabit the Classical concerto tradition while pointing towards Beethoven's emerging personal style, featuring dialogue between solo piano and orchestra, a balance of virtuosic passages and lyrical slow movements, and formal innovations that bridge late 18th-century models and the early Romantic concerto.
First released: 2001
