Piano Concertos nos. 2 & 3

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Berliner Philharmoniker & Daniel Barenboim

Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 3 are piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1795 (No. 2) and 1800 (No. 3). They bridge Beethoven's early Classical roots and his emerging middle-period voice, combining Classical formal clarity and balanced orchestration with increased dramatic contrast, expanded harmonic language and demanding piano writing that foreshadows his later works.
First released: 1987
