Although Beethoven is often regarded as the revolutionary composer par excellence, Reed Tetzloff sets out here to highlight his above all 'evolutionary' musical approach.
This first volume in a projected complete recording of Beethoven’s concertos brings together his last two concerted works for piano – works that, like the Eroica Symphony or the Razumovsky Quartets, were to revolutionise the genre they represent.
With the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra under Pawel Kapula, Reed Tetzloff gives a fine account of these two very expressive compositions, the introspective and reflective Fourth Concerto and the epic Fifth (“Emperor”) Concerto, representing as it were two different facets of the Romantic hero. These two ground-breaking works took drama to a hitherto unprecedented level.

Si Beethoven est souvent considéré comme le compositeur révolutionnaire par excellence, Reed Tetzloff s’emploie ici à mettre en lumière sa démarche avant tout “évolutionnaire”. Premier volume d’une intégrale des concertos beethovéniens, cet enregistrement réunit les deux derniers opus de l'œuvre concertiste pour piano du maître, points d’aboutissement de son travail qui bouleverseront le genre, à l’instar de la Troisième Symphonie ou des Quatuors Razumovsky.
