(Music Minus One). Little need be said about this wonderful concerto, which shows Beethoven in thorough command of the idiom. Striking passages, its trademark opening theme in octaves, and a marvelous orchestration create an indispensable part of every pianist's library, and this new MMO digital recording features Milena Mollova, world-renowned Beethoven interpreter. Includes a printed music score and online audio recordings containing a complete version with soloist, followed by a second performance of the orchestral accompaniment, minus you, the soloist. The audio is accessed online using the unique code inside each book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right. Performed by Milena Mollova, piano. Accompaniment: Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra. Conductor: Nayden Todorov.
