Beethoven Complete Concertos

Kovecevich Stephen Krebbers Hermann

Catalogue # 4805946

\n

Like the Beethoven symphonies, his concertos form a cornerstone\nof the standard classical repertoire and collected together here,\non four discs, are all his major concertos in stellar performances.\nFrom the Haydnesque first concertos, to the serene calm, poise and\nbeauty of the Fourth Piano Concerto and the Violin Concerto, to the\nswagger of the Fifth (‘Emperor’) these are undisputed masterpieces\nall. The performances are all critically acclaimed – the\nKovacevich/Davis partnership in the Piano Concertos, Krebbers and\nHaitink in the Violin Concerto and Grumiaux in the two Romances,\nslow movements in search of a full-length concerto, if you will,\ndating from c.1798-1801. By way of a curiosity is added the Piano\nConcerto in E flat, WoO 4, which has come down to us only in sketch\nform and is reconstructed by Willi Hess. Also included is\nBeethoven’s ‘tribute’ to the Baroque concerto grosso in the form of\nhis Triple Concerto, with Arrau, Szeryng and Starker as the stellar\nsoloists.
