About this album

Pollini and Böhm bring Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 to vivid, authoritative life with the Wiener Philharmoniker. Recorded in 1976, this performance pairs Maurizio Pollini’s fleet, clear-toned pianism with Karl Böhm’s seasoned orchestral direction, giving the concerto both elegance and dramatic weight. Beethoven’s Fourth Concerto is one of the composer’s most inward and innovative concertos, opening with the piano alone and balancing lyrical intimacy against symphonic ambition. The Wiener Philharmoniker provide a richly coloured backdrop, while Pollini’s precision and Böhm’s authority make the work feel both classical in poise and unmistakably Romantic in expression.
