My favorite Piano Concerto by LvB,I should say my favorite piano concerto period, the 4th in G major Op. 58. Performed by Claudio Arrau with the Dresden Staatskapelle conducted by Sir Colin Davis. There are not many recordings that I recomend but this is high on my list. Arrau brings to us the lyrically romantic side of Beethoven with great warmth and tenderness. Also on the same disc is, the monumental 5th Piano Concerto, the Emperor. Again a wonderful performance by Arrau, one of the greatest
pianist of the 20th century. A must disc for all Beethoven lovers.
