Renowned conductor Sir Charles Mackerras leads pianist Arthur Pizarro and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in a truly memorable performance of these great works. Originally released in 2009, Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Concertos 3, 4 & 5 is re-issued as part of Linn's ECHO series that offers a second chance to enjoy the best of the label's award-winning catalogue. Upon it's release, it was selected by Classic FM as it's Disc of the Week and entered the UK Classical Chart receiving several five star reviews. The magical partnership of Mackerras and the SCO resulted in the addition of Concerto No. 5, which was not originally in the recording plan. Concertos 3 and 4 were recorded very quickly - often in one take! The Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Sir Charles Mackerras enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship until the conductor's passing in 2010. Arthur Pizarro has performed with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra on many occasions. In the days prior to the recording, Pizarro joined the orchestra and Sir Charles Mackerras in performances of Beethoven's Third and Fourth Concertos. These performances were met with great critical acclaim. This recording deserves it's place among the finest versions of these works.
