The Five Piano Concertos

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Vladimir Ashkenazy & Sir Georg Solti & Chicago Symphony Orchestra

The Five Piano Concertos is a set of five piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1795 and 1811. They span Beethoven's early to middle periods and illustrate a progression from Classical-era forms to more expanded, Romantic-leaning structures, featuring interplay between the solo piano and orchestra and increasing technical and expressive demands.
