CELIBIDACHE ∙ BARENBOIM PLAYS BRAHMS

 

BRAHMS:

Piano Concerto No. 1: Recorded live at Stadthalle Erlangen, 1991

Piano Concerto No. 2: Recorded live at the Gasteig, Munich, 1991

 

Daniel Barenboim, piano

Münchner Philharmoniker / Sergiu Celibidache

 

Brahms’s two piano concertos are from opposite ends of his creative years... The first work evinces a titanic struggle, while the second is warmer and rounder, but no less passionate, and shows Brahms at his consummate best.

 

Today Daniel Barenboim is internationally recognized and revered as an orchestral and operatic conductor, pianist, and a musical ambassador and also as a humanitarian. Partnering him is the remarkable conductor Sergiu Celibidache. “He was one of the greatest musicians I ever encountered”, says Barenboim.
