The Piano Concertos

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Ronald Brautigam & Die Kölner Akademie & Michael Alexander Willens

The Piano Concertos are a set of five piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1795 and 1811. They span Beethoven's early to middle periods, blending Classical forms with emerging Romantic expressiveness, featuring virtuosic piano writing, close piano-orchestra dialogue and an expanded structural scope that helped shape later concerto repertoire.
