Piano Concertos nos. 3 & 5 “Emperor”

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Alexander Sandler & Sergei Uruvayev & Aleksander Titov

Piano Concertos Nos. 3 and 5 ("Emperor") are piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1800–1803 and 1809 respectively. Stylistically they bridge the Classical and early Romantic periods, featuring expanded orchestral forces and demanding solo piano writing, with No.3 illustrating Beethoven's early reworking of concerto form and No.5 characterised by broad, martial gestures and a structural grandeur that influenced nineteenth-century concerto practice.
