Brahms / Backhaus / Schuricht - Piano Concerto 2 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Album Tracks 1. Allegro Non Troppo 2. Adagio 3. Allegro Giocoso Ma Non Troppo Vivace 4. Piano Concerto No. 1 in C minor, Op. 35 5. Adagio 6. Allegro Energico

Recorded live in Tokyo on 20 May 2009 with the NHK Symphony Orchestra conducted by Tadaaki Otaka, this concert provides a new opportunity to take the full measure of the poetry deployed by Nelson Goerner. This poetic approach has come to be seen as the pianist's trademark in his recordings of Chopin or Debussy. Yet his interpretation also shows unfailing virtuosity, with a precision and power that place him among the most eminent pianists of our time. This recording is one that Nelson Goerner was particularly keen to make, for he views Brahms's Second Concerto as an immense masterpiece. Premiered in Budapest in 1881 with Brahms himself at the piano, the work enjoyed immediate success with critics and public alike. Now, more than 200 years later, the piece is receiving new life.
