Piano Concerto No 5 "Emperor"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Van Cliburn & Fritz Reiner & Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Piano Concerto No. 5 "Emperor" is the fifth piano concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1809. The work, written in Beethoven's middle period, blends late Classical form with early Romantic breadth through a three-movement structure featuring a majestic opening, expansive orchestral textures and a virtuosic solo piano part, and it helped to broaden the concerto genre and the piano's role in orchestral writing.
