Description: Conductor Diem Tigani has produced a completely new edition of Beethoven's early, 1784 piano concerto (first recording) which throws out Willy Hess's misorchestrated 1943 version and uses Beethoven's own work as the basis for the second movement cadenza, and provides a detailed, six-page note on his work (in excellent English translation). Maurizio Paciariello (piano), Marco Rogliano (violin), Maurizio Bignardelli (flute), Alessandro Mura (bassoon), Sassari Symphony Orchestra; Roberto Diem Tigani.
