Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5, Emperor, is grand and spectacular, and one of magnificent parts of the concerto is its simple and moving adagio. Here Beethoven makes a brilliant decision: the piano becomes the accompaniment to the orchestra, but maintains the leading. The version is by Maurizio Pollini and the RAI Symphony Orchestra of Rome conducted by Claudio Abbado in a recording from 1967. | History of Music
