Koželuch - Piano Concertos 1, 4 & 5 - Dratva

"Vienna, 1785: Haydn and Mozart are at the height of their creativity, the young Beethoven will soon appear on the scene as well. Many other extraordinary musicians also contribute to shaping that unique epoch in music history we call the "Viennese Classics". (...) This is the era in which Leopold Koželuch also lives and composes in Vienna. Born in Bohemia and educated in Prague, he moved to Vienne in 1778. In 1792, he became Mozart's successor as chamber composer to the Emperor. He write primarily for the "fortepiano", otherwise known as the hammerklavier. His output: 23 piano concertos, 55 piano sonatas and 65 piano trios.(...)"
