Piano Concerto No.5 in E flat major, Op.73 “Emperor”
01. I. Allegro
02. II. Adagio un poco mosso
03. III. Rondo (Allegro)
Both the key of E flat as well as the character of the main themes and the radiant instrumentation have something solemnly victorious, so that the nickname “Emperor-Concerto”, which received the concert soon after Beethoven’s death in England, has its meaning. A live recording at the Wiener Musikverein in 1979 with Arturo Benedetti Mic helangeli on piano and the Wiener Symphoniker under the direction of Carlo Maria Giulini.
