This album features a fresh interpretation on period instruments of Ludwig van Beethoven's seldom-heard Piano Concerto in D major Op. 61a – Beethoven’s own piano transcription of his famous Violin Concerto Op. 61, completed during 1807. The solo is performed by Anders Muskens on an original fortepiano by John Broadwood & Sons in London c. 1806, restored by Paul Kobald in Amsterdam in 2022. He is accompanied by the ensemble Das Neue Mannheimer Orchester, jointly led by Muskens and Australian / British concertmaster Rachael Beesley. Our approach indulges in the expressivity and emotionality of early Romantic aesthetics, and we dare to engage and experiment with expressive devices of the nineteenth-century orchestra. Many of these devices, like tempo and rhythmic flexibility, dislocation, and portamenti are not commonly practiced by today’s orchestras; however, they were integral to the nineteenth-century orchestral performing practice. This album presents a new take on Beethoven, inspired by historical sources, that challenges the status quo.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
