Overview
This CD presents Johannes Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 83, one of the monumental works of the Romantic piano repertoire, performed by renowned Hungarian pianist György Sándor with the Sinfonieorchester des Südwestfunks Baden-Baden, conducted by Rolf Reinhardt.
Recorded and released in Germany as part of the Grosse Komponisten und ihre Musik collection by Marshall Cavendish, this 1990 edition captures the grandeur and lyricism of Brahms’s symphonic piano writing. Sándor’s virtuosic yet refined interpretation highlights the concerto’s duality — both heroic and deeply introspective — while the Baden-Baden orchestra provides rich, expressive accompaniment.
? Condition: Used – Very Good (Disc and booklet show minimal wear; plays perfectly.)
