Piano Concertos nos. 4 & 5

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Hannes Minnaar & Netherlands Symphony Orchestra & Jan Willem de Vriend

Piano Concertos Nos. 4 and 5 are two piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1805 and 1811. They exemplify late Classical to early Romantic concerto writing, contrasting intimate, conversational passages between solo piano and orchestra with expanded virtuosic and orchestral textures, and they occupy a central position in Beethoven's middle-to-late-period output and the evolution of the piano concerto genre.
First released: March 2015
