Piano Concerto no. 1 / Ballades op. 10

Album by Johannes Brahms & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Nikolaus Harnoncourt & Rudolf Buchbinder

Piano Concerto No. 1 and the Ballades Op. 10 are works by Johannes Brahms from the 1850s, with the concerto completed in 1858 and the Ballades composed in 1854. The concerto combines Romantic orchestral breadth with a stormy piano part and occupies an early place in Brahms's career as he moved toward larger-scale orchestral writing, while the Ballades are lyrical, episodic piano pieces that show his developing approach to solo piano composition.
