Piano Concerto No. 5. Choral Fantasy

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Vladimir Ashkenazy & The Cleveland Orchestra

Piano Concerto No. 5 and the Choral Fantasy are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1809 and 1808 respectively. Musically they exemplify Beethoven's mature style, combining virtuosic piano writing and expansive orchestration while the Choral Fantasy's incorporation of choir and solo voice creates a hybrid between concerto and choral forms, reflecting a pivotal moment in his late-middle-period experiments with form and dramatic synthesis.
