Lang Lang Records Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 and Sonata No. 31 for the 2027 Anniversary Year.
To mark the Beethoven anniversary year in 2027, Lang Lang presents a new recording of Piano Concerto No. 5, the “Emperor”. It captures his personal perspective on one of the greatest works in the piano repertoire. Together with Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Lang Lang brings his interpretation into dialogue with the orchestra’s deep-rooted Beethoven tradition; the Gewandhausorchester premiered the work in 1811.
“Beethoven, like no other composer, combines pulse, harmony and melody in perfect balance, without one dominating the others.”
The concerto is 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, connecting this recording with 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.
The Deutsche Grammophon release is set for 5 March 2027, commemorating the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s death. The 1-CD edition will be released simultaneously with Lang Lang’s complete cycle of Beethoven’s piano concertos.

Lang Lang’s Beethoven Piano Concertos: A Landmark Recording for the Anniversary Year.
Fulfilling a long-held dream, Lang Lang has recorded his first complete cycle of the Beethoven piano concertos. After recording Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 4 in 2007, he has since performed all five many times. 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.”
Together 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.
The 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.
