Piano Concerto no. 5 / Piano Sonata no. 32, op. 111

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Berliner Philharmoniker & Ferdinand Leitner & Wilhelm Kempff

Piano Concerto No. 5 and Piano Sonata No. 32, Op. 111 are compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1809 and 1822 respectively. The concerto features expansive orchestral writing paired with virtuosic piano solo passages within the classical concerto tradition, while the sonata exemplifies Beethoven's late-period style through condensed structure, stark contrasts and adventurous harmonic language, each work representing a pivotal point in his output and in the transition toward Romantic piano repertoire.
