Piano Concertos
Album by Johannes Brahms & Sunwook Kim & Hallé Orchestra & Sir Mark Elder
Piano Concertos is a set of two concertos for piano and orchestra by German composer Johannes Brahms, composed in 1858 and 1881. They are Romantic-era works that combine virtuosic, piano-centred writing with symphonic orchestration, characterised by dense harmonies, expansive forms and dramatic contrasts, and they occupy an important place in Brahms's career as examples of his integration of concerto and symphonic principles.
First released: 5th May 2017
