Beethoven: Piano Concertos, Vol. 2

Pianist Inon Barnatan, conductor Alan Gilbert and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields complete their cycle of Beethoven piano concertos with this second collection. It contains not only the Second and Fifth Piano Concertos, but also the Choral Fantasy Op. 80, for which the musicians are joined by London Voices and some acclaimed soloists. Even more of a rarity is Beethoven’s own arrangement of his Violin Concerto for piano and orchestra.
