The Comprehensive Vision Video(VHS/DVD). Beethoven’s last appearance in concert was in the Fourth Piano Concerto—one of the least dramatic of his works. Without the shattering emotion of the Eroica, the Fifth or the Ninth Symphonies, or the power of the Emperor Concerto, the tragic sense of the Third, or the glittering virtuosity of the First and Second, the Fourth Concerto is the index to Beethoven’s breadth of creative vision. Barenboim performs the complete first movement of the Fourth Piano Concerto with Sir Adrian Boult conducting the New Philharmonia Orchestra. (28 minutes)
