Piano Concerto No. 2

Album by Johannes Brahms & Wilhelm Backhaus & Wiener Philharmoniker & Karl Böhm

Piano Concerto No. 2 is the second piano concerto by German composer Johannes Brahms, completed in 1881. The four-movement Romantic-era concerto combines expansive, lyrical piano writing with symphonic orchestration, featuring intricate counterpoint, shifts between intimate and orchestral textures, and represents a mature consolidation of Brahms's approach to concerto form and his development as a composer.
