Brahms: Piano Concertos

Intense, romantic music-making from the world s most captivating pianist.
Thrilling, deeply personal interpretations of the dark, passionate sound-worlds of both Brahms piano concertos.
A unique, multi-faceted artist who continues to push creative boundaries, Grimaud is one of few pianists to conquer the monumental dimensions of the epic Op.83.
Recorded under studio conditions in Vienna s legendary Musikverein, the 2nd Piano Concerto marks Grimaud s debut recording with the celebrated Wiener Philharmoniker; coupled with the equally coveted Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks for the 1st Concerto, Grimaud has discovered exemplary musical counterparts.
