Overview
Beethoven, Grieg – Famous Piano Concerti brings together two of the most iconic piano concertos in the classical repertoire. Featuring Peter Schmalfuss and Marian Lapsansky on piano, with the Radio Symphony Orchestra Pilsen and the Slovakian National Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Jiri Malat and Bystrik Rezucha, this album offers stellar performances of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2 and Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor.
Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in B major, Op. 19 is an early masterpiece that features brilliant virtuosity and lyrical beauty. Paired with Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, a passionate and sweeping work filled with Nordic charm and melodic richness, this album is a perfect display of the contrasting styles of these two Romantic giants.
