Piano Concerto no. 5 "Emperor" / Choral Fantasy

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Alicia de Larrocha & Deutsches Symphonie‐Orchester Berlin & Riccardo Chailly

Piano Concerto No. 5 "Emperor" and the Choral Fantasy are orchestral compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1809 and 1808 respectively. The concerto is a large-scale work for piano and orchestra that exemplifies Beethoven's move towards the early Romantic idiom with expanded orchestral writing and intensified piano-orchestra dialogue, while the Choral Fantasy blends piano, orchestra and chorus in a hybrid form that anticipates his later use of vocal forces and reflects his experimental late-Classical techniques.

First released: 1996
