About this album

Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto is given a poised, authoritative reading here by Wilhelm Kempff with the Berliner Philharmoniker under Ferdinand Leitner. Op. 73, often called the “Emperor” concerto, stands as one of Beethoven’s most expansive and heroic works, balancing virtuoso brilliance with lyrical gravitas. Kempff’s elegant classical touch suits the score’s nobility, while Leitner and the orchestra provide firm, uncluttered support. Recorded in 1962, this performance reflects the post-war German concerto tradition at a high level, with Beethoven’s dramatic writing and lyrical inner strength kept in clear focus throughout.
