After recording Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 4 in 2007, he has since performed all five many times. He now returns to these masterworks in his first studio recording of the complete cycle, reflecting decades of performance, encounters with other great musicians and a deepened understanding of Beethoven’s musical language. “With time, I’ve learned to hear beneath the surface – to understand how every detail contributes to Beethoven’s larger musical architecture.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with renowned conductor Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Lang Lang brings this perspective into dialogue with the orchestra’s deep-rooted Beethoven tradition. The concertos are complemented by the composer’s Piano Sonata No. 31, Op. 110, which has special personal significance for Lang Lang: he performed it at his audition for the Curtis Institute of Music, making this recording a return not only to Beethoven but also to his own musical beginnings. The album also features new transcriptions of individual movements from Symphonies Nos. 7 and 9: the Allegretto from No. 7 and a personal favorite, the “Ode to Joy” from No. 9. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Please note, the signature in the image may differ from the signature on the product. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr \/\u003eLP 1\u003cbr \/\u003eSide A\u003cbr \/\u003e Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 1 in C Major, Op. 15: I.
