Beethoven - Emperor Concerto | Piano Concerto No. 5 op. 73

The Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73, known as the Emperor Concerto is a concerto composed by Ludwig van Beethoven for piano and orchestra. Beethoven composed the concerto in 1809 and its public premiere was on 28 November 1811 in Leipzig with the Gewandhaus Orchestra. Beethoven, usually the soloist, could not perform due to declining hearing.
Performed by Georgii Cherkin
Conducted by Rossen Gergov
Sofia Philharmony Orchestra
"Bulgaria Hall" Live
11-th April 2019
I. Allegro - 00:37
II. Adagio un poco mosso - 21:19
III. Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo - 28:23
The work's military aspects and symbolism characterize its heroic style. Beethoven used novel approaches with the piece, such as beginning the solo entrance without orchestral introduction, lengthening the concerto, and creating a new relationship between piano and orchestra. The first of its three movements, Allegro, is in sonata form and is longer than any opening movement of Beethoven's earlier piano concertos. The second movement, Adagio un poco mosso, is a nocturne that directly builds into the third movement. The last movement, Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo, is in seven-part rondo form. The concerto is approximately forty minutes.

My favorite piano concerto of Beethoven. I love classical music, and Georgii plays these pieces amazingly with such great finesse. I've listened to him playing Mozart's Alle Turka and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 1st and 3rd Movements but couldn't find his playing of the 2nd Movement. Brilliant pianist!!!

[@taniapetrova9977]
