About this album

Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto in C major is presented here in an elegant, classically poised reading by Wilhelm Kempff, the Berliner Philharmoniker and Ferdinand Leitner. Written in the composer’s early Viennese years and published as Op. 15, the concerto balances youthful brilliance with growing structural confidence, moving from bright, public virtuosity to a lyrical central movement of real warmth. Kempff’s refined touch suits the work’s clarity and singable lines, while Leitner and the Berlin players provide an assured orchestral frame. The result is a distinguished account of one of Beethoven’s most accessible and enduring concertos.
