The second release in a cycle of Beethoven Piano Concertos played by Elizabeth Sombart with the RPO and Pierre Vallet, released on Signum as part of the Beethoven 250th anniversary year.
Beethoven is one of the single most influential figure in the history of Western music. Starting out with Mozart and Haydn as his spiritual mentors; he wrestled off the shackles of 18th century Classicism, forging uncompromising musical landscapes with a visionary intensity that left most musicians quivering in his wake. For centuries, music had lagged behind the other arts, but with Beethoven’s iron-clad will, it found itself at the cutting edge of social change.
