Description:
Although Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) composed only four works for solo instruments and orchestra, they form a quartet of the most-loved concertos of all time. The two Piano Concertos, the Violin Concerto and the Concerto for Violin & Cello “Double Concerto,” all illustrate Brahms’ goal of combining elements of the concerto with those of the symphony. The results are four magnificent “symphonic” concertos of gorgeous tunes, sweeping grandeur and deep emotions.
