After recording Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 4 in 2007, he has since performed all five many\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003etimes. He now returns to these masterworks in his first studio recording of the complete cycle, reflecting decades of performance, encounters with other great musicians and a deepened understanding of Beethoven’s musical language. “With time, I’ve learned to hear beneath the surface – to understand how every detail contributes to Beethoven’s larger musical architecture.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with renowned conductor Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Lang Lang brings this perspective into dialogue with the orchestra’s deep-rooted Beethoven tradition. The concertos are complemented by the composer’s Piano Sonata No. 31, Op. 110, which has special personal significance for Lang Lang: he performed it at his audition for the Curtis Institute of Music, making this recording a return not only to Beethoven but also to his own musical beginnings. The album also features new transcriptions of individual movements from Symphonies Nos. 7 and 9: the Allegretto from No. 7 and a personal favourite, the “Ode to Joy” from No. 9.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Deutsche Grammophon release is set for March 5, 2027, commemorating the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s death. It will be available digitally and as a 3-CD set and a limited 5-LP box set. A special Pure Analogue Recording (AAA) of Piano Concerto No. 5 will be released on LP, alongside the digital recording on CD, in a limited 1-LP + CD edition, allowing the direct comparison of both soundworlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3-CD Digipack details:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Extensive 28pp booklet with liner notes in English and German\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003eCD 1\u003cbr\u003e1.
