Concerto no. 2, in B-flat, op. 83
Album by Johannes Brahms & Vladimir Horowitz & NBC Symphony Orchestra & Arturo Toscanini
Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 83 is a concerto by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1878. Spanning four movements and written in the Romantic idiom, it combines symphonic breadth with demanding piano virtuosity, characterised by rich harmonic language, expansive thematic development and close interplay between soloist and orchestra, and it stands as a mature middle-period work that helped define Brahms's approach to large-scale form.
First released: 1951
