Concerto n°2 - Burlesque pour piano

Description

The pianist Joseph Moog in a repertoire where he excels, Brahms and Strauss, with a considerable technical challenge and a musicality never in doubt. Brahms was 48 years old and at the height of his art when he composed his Piano Concerto No. 2, which became famous but remains to this day one of the most technically challenging and one of the longest: a true challenge for the soloist, in fact the ultimate test. One can even use identical terms to describe the Burlesque for Piano by Johannes Strauss which is featured on this disc: fascinating musically, demanding technically. Here, the young British pianist Joseph Moog does justice to what Gramophone recently wrote about him: "The most brilliant pianist of his generation!"
