Beethoven: Concerto for piano and orchestra No. 1 in C major Op. 15, Concerto for piano and orchestra No. 2 in B flat major Op. 19
Tapiola Sinfonietta
Olli Mustonen (piano, conductor)
This is the first of three volumes featuring the five Beethoven Piano Concertos and the piano version of the Violin Concerto on hybrid SACD, all performed by Olli Mustonen in the role as soloist and conductor of the Tapiola Sinfonietta.
Mustonen is known for delivering a fresh, visionary reading of popular standard repertoire music, such as Beethoven’s concertos which he has never recorded before. The chamber orchestra Tapiola Sinfonietta and Olli Mustonen have maintained a close relationship for years, accompanying this ambitious recording project with acclaimed tour performances. Mustonen, who is also a published composer, is playing his own cadenzas in the First Concerto.
The booklet includes extensive liner notes written by the author of the new complete Piano Concerto Edition, Dr. Hans-Werner Küthen of the Beethoven-Archiv, Bonn.
