Description

The piano remained the main instrument of Beethoven throughout his life, and this specially priced 4-CD box set represents his entire and sizeable output for piano and orchestra, starting with the early Piano Concerto in E flat, WoO 4 a work of tremendous energy and great technical demands, which Beethoven wrote when he was just twelve years old and ending with Piano Concerto No. 5, the only one that Beethoven never performed himself in concert, due to his developing deafness. Howard Shelley was awarded an OBE for services to classical music at the 2009 New Year Honours. He here conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of Opera North from the piano. Shelley has recorded extensively for Chandos over the years, and he has combined the role of solo pianist and conductor on numerous occasions, most recently with the Orchestra of Opera North in Piano Concertos by Schumann, Saint-Saëns, and Grieg (CHAN 10509), but also with the London Mozart Players, recording works by Cramer, Hummel, Mendelssohn, and Mozart. All his recordings have received superb reviews. Beethoven wrote the Triple Concerto on this disc in 1803 during a lull in the composition of his opera Fidelio. Works for violin, cello and piano were fairly common at the time but combining them with orchestra was, as Beethoven himself observed, something entirely new, and no other concerto of this kind from this period is known today. In this work, Howard Shelley is joined by the violinist and exclusive Chandos artist Tasmin Little, who won the Critics Choice Award at this years Classic BRITS, and by the cellist Tim Hugh, of whom The Times said: Mr Hugh is much more than just a Cellist, he is a musician with a compelling insight into the creative urge behind the notes. Review Recommended in Classic fm's Christmas CD Guide. --Classic fm Magazine,Dec'11 Critics' Choice 2011 --Gramophone,Dec'11 This is the most comprehensive set of Beethoven's music for piano and orchestra available, in performances that are vital, deeply considered and immensely satisfying. --IRR,Dec'11 It is refreshing to hear Beethoven treated in grand manner. Performance *** Recording **** --BBC Music Magazine,Jan'12 This is a major new cycle,an important addition not only to the catalogue but also to Shelley's exceptionally fine discography.EDITORS CHOICE --Gramophone,Jan'12
