Piano Concerto no. 1 / Ballades, op. 10
Album by Johannes Brahms & Paul Lewis & Daniel Harding & Sveriges Radios Symfoniorkester
Piano Concerto No. 1 and the Ballades, Op. 10 are compositions by the German composer Johannes Brahms, composed in 1858–59 (the concerto) and 1854 (the Ballades). The concerto combines Romantic-era orchestral heft with piano virtuosity and expansive sonata-form structure, marking an early large-scale orchestral statement in Brahms's career, while the Ballades are concise piano pieces that exhibit his developing lyricism, motivic economy and dramatic contrasts.
First released: 15th April 2016
