Description

[Machine Translation] The German virtuoso Lars Forkert conducts the Royal Northern Sinfonia himself in a tour of Beethoven's piano concertos, the last of which is a combination of No. 2 and No. 4. The second concerto, which Beethoven is said to have begun at the age of 16, was written before the first. Although Beethoven himself is said to have been dissatisfied with the quality of the work, it is highly regarded as an ambitious piece that shows Beethoven's character in the way he handled the theme and his original cadenza. While No. 5, "Emperor," is one of Beethoven's greatest works, and boasts an imposing masculinity, No. 4 has a softer expression, and the melancholy beauty of the second movement is especially popular. In both pieces, Folkert's performance emphasizes the "dialogue between piano and orchestra" by eloquently sounding the orchestra. By highlighting every detail of the orchestral part of No. 2, which until now has tended to be overlooked as an accompaniment, Folkert succeeds in bringing out new charms in the piece.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

ベートーヴェン: ピアノ協奏曲 2&4番 / クラシックオムニバス

ドイツの名手ラルス・フォークトが自らロイヤル・ノーザン・シンフォニアを指揮し、ベートーヴェンのピアノ協奏曲を演奏するツィクルス、最後を飾るのは第2番と第4番の組み合わせ。ベートーヴェンが16歳の頃に着手したとされる第2番の協奏曲は、第1番よりも以前に書かれた作品。ベートーヴェン自身は作品の出来に不満があったとされているが、主題の扱い方や、独創的なカデンツァなどにベートーヴェンらしさが感じられる意欲的な曲として高く評価されている。第4番はベートーヴェンの最高傑作のひとつであり、第5番「皇帝」が堂々とした男性らしさを誇る曲であるのに比べ、こちらの第4番は柔和な表情を持ち、中でも第2楽章の憂いに満ちた美しさは格別の人気を誇っている。フォークトの演奏は、どちらの曲もオーケストラを雄弁に鳴らすことで"ピアノとオーケストラの対話"を強調。これまで伴奏として見過ごされがちだった第2番のオーケストラ・パートにも隅々まで光を当てることで、曲の新たな魅力を引き出すことに成功している。
