Klavierkonzert Nr. 2

Album by Johannes Brahms & Maurizio Pollini & Wiener Philharmoniker & Claudio Abbado

Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 83 is the second piano concerto by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1881. Broadly Romantic in style, the four-movement work combines symphonic orchestral textures with virtuosic piano writing, featuring expansive lyricism, rich harmonic complexity and close interplay between soloist and orchestra, and it represents a mature example of Brahms's concerto practice in his middle period.
First released: 3rd August 1987
