Product Description
Contents: [Deutsche Grammophon 125th Anniversary Edition] [First Analog Recording Period] [SHM-CD Specification] [Green Color Label Coating] Brahms' two piano concertos, with their powerful piano parts layered with the rich sound of the orchestra, are sometimes referred to as "symphonies with piano." The piano concerto, composed during his mature period, is a masterpiece with a characteristically melancholic Brahms feel, and in the third movement, the cello plays a sorrowful solo. This recording, featuring two great masters, Gilels and Jochum, and the Berlin Philharmonic, is a grand-scale performance that can only be described as a grand-class sumo match, and has long been listened to as a representative masterpiece of this work. Brahms's "Fantasies," composed in 1892 in his later years, is also coupled to this album.
