Beethoven: Triple Concerto, Rondo In B Flat & Choral FantasyOpis:Pierre-Laurent Aimard’s remarkable career continues to go from strength to strength. The French pianist is in great demand in all the world’s major concert halls, refusing to be pigeonholed as he explores a broad range of music from different ages and sources. Aimard’s recordings of the complete Beethoven Piano Concertos with Nikolaus Harnoncourt and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, released in 2003, received the highest critical accolades worldwide: “revelatory… insightful” (The Times); “technically brilliant… and intellectually appealing” (The Independent); “The freshness of this set is remarkable. You do not have to listen far to be swept up by its spirit of renewal and discovery, and in Pierre-Laurent Aimard as soloist, Nikolaus Harnoncourt has made an inspired choice… Aimard is as intrepid an explorer here as Harnoncourt… intensely enjoyable… vital, focused performances” (Gramophone). Now the same protagonists complete the recorded survey of Beethoven’s works for piano and orchestra with: The ‘Concerto for Violin, Cello and Piano with the whole Orchestra’ (Beethoven’s title) was written in 1804 for the composer’s young piano pupil Archduke Rudolf and two string players in the Archduke’s entourage. It was premiered in 1808. In December 1808, at Beethoven’s famous benefit concert at the Theater an der Wien, the public heard the first performances of his fifth and sixth symphonies, three movements from the C Major Mass, the concert aria Ah, perfido! and the premiere of the Piano Concerto No. 4 with the composer playing the solo part. At the last moment, Beethoven decided to compose a brilliant and stirring finale to the evening that would draw together chorus, orchestra and himself as soloist. The result was the Fantasia for Piano, Chorus and Orchestra, often referred to as the Choral Fantasy. The Rondo in B-flat is believed to have been the original finale to Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2, which was published with a completely new final movement. The score to the Rondo disappeared after Beethoven’s death and the original autograph was not uncovered until 1898, in the archives of a church in Vienna. It was not published until 1960. “One of the most musically inquisitive and open-minded pianists before the public.” (Gramophone)Autor:Arnold Schoenberg ChorNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: English: Published; EnglishData wydania: 2004-10-18Waga: 0.18 gramWysokość: 0.6 cmSzerokość: 5 cmDługość: 5.6 cmUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
