Concerto numéro 2

Description

Recorded live on May 20, 2009, in Tokyo with the NHK Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Tadaaki Otaka, this concert showcases all the poetry expressed by pianist Nelson Goerner, a quality that has become his trademark through his recordings dedicated to Chopin and Debussy. His interpretation also demonstrates flawless virtuosity, precision, and strength, placing him among the greatest pianists of our time. This recording is particularly dear to Nelson Goerner, as Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2 is, for him, a monumental masterpiece. Premiered in 1881 in Budapest, with Brahms himself at the piano, the work received immediate acclaim from both critics and the public.
