Album by Johannes Brahms & Claudio Arrau & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Bernard Haitink

Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 83 is a piano concerto by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1878. The four-movement work combines expansive Romantic orchestration with symphonic piano writing, marked by intricate counterpoint, broad lyricism and technically demanding solo passages, and it occupies a central place in Brahms's middle-period output and the 19th-century concerto repertoire.
