Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 83
Album by Johannes Brahms & Daniel Barenboim & New York Philharmonic & Zubin Mehta
Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 83 is a piano concerto by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1881. Scored for piano and large orchestra in four movements, it combines expansive symphonic writing with virtuosic piano passages, including lyrical slow material and a scherzo-like movement that emphasises chamber-music interplay, and it represents a mature late-Romantic statement in Brahms's compositional output following his earlier orchestral and chamber works.
First released: 1987
