Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2

Album by Johannes Brahms & Ivan Moravec & František Host & Česká filharmonie & Jiří Bělohlávek

Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 are piano concertos by the German composer Johannes Brahms, completed in 1858 and 1881 respectively. They combine virtuosic piano writing with symphonic orchestration and Romantic harmonic language, featuring expansive structures, contrapuntal textures and dynamic contrast, and they trace Brahms's development from his early ambitious phase to his later, more assured approach to large-scale forms.
