Concerto no. 2
Album by Johannes Brahms & Emil Gilels & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Fritz Reiner
Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 83, is the second piano concerto by German composer Johannes Brahms, completed and first performed in 1881. The four-movement work combines expansive Romantic orchestration with demanding pianistic writing, including a lyrical slow movement and a contrapuntal finale that exemplify Brahms's mature compositional approach and the concerto's place in his later instrumental output and the broader Romantic repertoire.
