Piano Concertos Nos. 3 & 5
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Rudolf Serkin & Leonard Bernstein & New York Philharmonic
Piano Concertos Nos. 3 & 5 is a pairing of two piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and first performed in the early 19th century (No. 3 around 1803 and No. 5 in 1811). They contrast stormier, concentrated classical drama with broad, heroic gestures and expanded orchestral writing, illustrating Beethoven's move from Classical concerto conventions toward a more symphonically integrated, virtuosic approach that influenced the later concerto repertoire.
First released: 27th July 2004
