ANDRAS SCHIFF Beethoven: The 5 Piano Concertos, Appassionata Sonata

ANDRAS SCHIFF Beethoven: The 5 Piano Concertos, Appassionata Sonata 3CD 2020 

Written over some two decades, Beethoven's five piano concertos exemplify the constantly astonishing scope of his creativity. In András Schiff's words, 'Beethoven's music is cosmic and metaphysical. Each of the concertos has a unique character. Every note has to be played with responsibility and spiritual gravity.' Schiff and Haitink here perform with the Staatskapelle Dresden, an orchestra whose great tradition extends over more than four centuries.
