Legendary Chilean pianist Claudio Arrau is backed by the Philharmonia Orchestra headed by Italian conductor Alceo Galliera in this programme of Beethoven works, transferred from original analog sources to high-fidelity digital formats by Warner Classics!The Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73, known as the Emperor Concerto in English-speaking countries, is a concerto composed by Ludwig van Beethoven for piano and orchestra. 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.

Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 22 in F major, Op. 54, was written in 1804. It is contemporary to the first sketches of the Symphony No. 5 in C Minor. It is one of Beethoven’s lesser known sonatas, overshadowed by its widely known neighbours, the “Waldstein” and the “Appassionata”.
