Lang Lang, Andris Nelson, Gewandhausorchester: Beethoven – Piano Concerto No. 5 Limited Edition LP + CD
More than two centuries after they were written, Beethoven’s Piano Concertos remain endlessly open to discovery. Lang Lang first recorded Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 4 in 2007 and has since performed all five concertos many times. He now returns to these masterworks to record the complete cycle in the studio for the first time, reflecting decades of performance, encounters with other great musicians, and a deepened understanding of Beethoven’s musical language. Together with Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester, Lang Lang brings this perspective into dialogue with the orchestra’s extraordinary Beethoven tradition. The concertos are complemented by the composer’s final Piano Sonata No. 31, which has special personal significance for Lang Lang: he performed it at his audition for the Curtis Institute of Music, making this recording a return not only to Beethoven, but also to his own musical beginnings.
This edition features one AAA pure analogue vinyl LP + one CD dedicated to Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5, "Emperor". The LP provides a premium analogue listening experience while the CD offers the same concerto in a complementary and convenient format.
