Concertos (album)

Concertos is a 1951 LP album featuring classical music performances by various artists on the Columbia Masterworks label. It does not showcase a single composer or a single specific concerto type, but rather presents a collection of well-known concertos. The album was released during the early LP era and was intended to showcase the extended playing time of the new format. Specific versions may vary in tracklist, but generally include recordings of popular concertos from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods. The artists featured also vary depending on the specific release or pressing of the LP. It's an example of an early "sampler" album in classical music, designed to introduce listeners to a broader range of repertoire.
