Beatrice Rana and LSO perform Beethovens Piano Concerto No. 5 in E Flat Major ( Full Performance)

Beatrice Rana plays Beethoven s grand Emperor Concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra and conductor Gianandrea Noseda. Listen to more music by Beatrice Rana here: Though the appellation Emperor was not given by the composer himself, this concerto was born during a time of military influence: the Napoleonic Wars. Beethoven began writing the work in 1808 and completed it in 1809 in Vienna, the same year that the city came under siege by Napoleon s army. Due to the composer s thenseverely declining hearing, the concerto was premiered by soloist Friedrich Schneider, rather than by Beethoven himself, in 1811. Filmed in February 2022 at the Barbican Centre, London. Warner Classics Website: Subscribe to our: YT Channel: Newsletter Follow us on: Facebook:
