Piano Concerto no. 5 "Emperor" / Choral Fantasy

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Boris Berezovsky & Svenska Kammarorkestern & Thomas Dausgaard

This paired recording presents two works by Ludwig van Beethoven, originally composed in 1809 and 1808 respectively. One piece is a large-scale late-Classical piano concerto that expands the dialogue between soloist and orchestra with expansive orchestral textures and virtuosic piano writing, while the other is a choral-orchestral fantasia that combines piano, voices and orchestra in a sectional, integrative form that anticipates Beethoven's later choral-symphonic writing.
