Post Subject: The Brahms’ PC 2 in Barbirolli style but by HaitinkPosted by Romy the Cat on: 6/1/2008

A couple hours ago WGBH in their “BSO on Record” program span a recording of Brahms’ Piano Concerto B-flat that was made in Boston in November 95:

What an unusual recording - and I never ever heard it! It has some “issuers” in piano play that I would not absolutely agree but still in some spots the concerto sounds like incredibly good performance. It is commentary available and if you like the B-flat PC then you might be an interested to hear it…
