The first volume with Vinzenz Lachner‘s arrangements for piano and string quintet of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Concertos already showed that this would be quite a special complete recording of Beethoven’s Piano Concertos – and not just because it is the first recording to present this version for the first time ever. For the second volume, Hanna Shybayeva chose the piano trio version of the Second Symphony in D major Op. 36 to be added in the arrangement by the master himself. After all, this chamber music arrangement from Beethoven’s pen fits perfectly with those of the piano concertos of later times.
