CD Review
German composer, Ludwig van Beethoven is widely regarded as one of classical music's supreme composers who radically transformed every musical form in which he worked. In a musical language which directly appeals to the listener, Beethoven combined elements of the traditional with the innovative but always in his own style; it remains as striking today as it did when it was written.
This CD couples Beethoven's most famous symphony and most famous piano concerto - with the striking Prometheus Overture as a bonus.
John Lill is famous for his performances of Beethoven's music and Walter Weller's Beethoven symphony cycle is highly acclaimed.
Tracks:
Overture to 'The Creatures of Prometheus', Op. 43
Piano Concerto No. 5 in E flat major, Op. 73 'Emperor'
Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67
