Piano Concerto no. 1 / Six Piano Pieces

Album by Johannes Brahms & Peter Donohoe & Philharmonia Orchestra & Evgeny Fyodorovich Svetlanov

Piano Concerto No. 1 and the Six Piano Pieces are works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1858 and 1893 respectively. The concerto is a large-scale Romantic composition that pairs orchestral weight with demanding piano writing, while the six pieces are concise solo works that favour introspective lyricism and contrapuntal density and show Brahms's turn toward smaller, more intimate forms late in his career.
