Piano Concertos nos. 3 & 4
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Cristina Ortiz & City of London Sinfonia & Richard Hickox
Piano Concertos Nos. 3 and 4 are piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in the early 1800s (No. 3 completed around 1800–1803 and No. 4 written 1805–1806 and premiered in 1807). They display a shift from Classical balance to more individualistic and dramatic writing, combining virtuosic solo passages with expanded orchestral textures and formal innovations that helped shape the concerto repertoire that followed.
First released: 1988
