Stefan Vladar, the Austrian pianist and chief conductor of the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, directs the ensemble in a new studio recording of all of Beethoven's concertos, plus the two Romances for violin and orchestra. He performs the dual role of soloist and conductor, true to the 18th-century Viennese tradition.
Featuring highly acclaimed soloists, these virtuoso performances assimilate the best of current and period practices.
This new recording from the musical hub of Vienna presents a fascinating benchmark interpretation.
"If you fancy a set of the Beethoven piano concertos that's suitable for listening to at a single sitting, then look no further. An exceptional set." Gramophone Editor's Choice January 2017
"From the orchestral overture of the first concerto, the Wiener KammerOrchester capture the attention with their dynamism and spirit. The piano itself responds with engaged playing, brilliant but never superficial, cheerful when appropriate [and] sensitive in the slow movements" Diapason Five Stars
