Description:

Brahms Piano Concertos recorded in 2015 at the Musikverein in March 2015 with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Mehta and Buchbinder, a virtuoso soloist who continues the tradition of Viennese piano performance, at the Musikverein in Vienna. The live recording of Brahms's Piano Concertos No. 1 and No. 2, performed at the Musikverein in Vienna in March. Both Mehta and Buchbinder have performed Brahms's piano concertos many times in the past, and in 2009 Mehta and Buchbinder recorded the concerto with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, giving a mature performance that reflected their deep understanding and love for each other's works. This concert was held six years later, and both musicians are gaining further acclaim as contemporary masters, making it a highly anticipated performance. The performance was in Buchbinder's familiar style, with No. 2 in the first half and No. 1 in the second half. The contrast between the delicacy and poetic atmosphere of No. 2 and the gravity and passion of the young Brahms in No. 1 was wonderful. The second piece was conceived by Brahms during a trip to Italy, and although it has a cheerful tone for Brahms, it also offers a glimpse into the profound world of Brahms in his later years. Buchbinder's piano is majestic, dignified, and full of flavor, and Mehta's performance is also very calm and composed, and the depth of the orchestra can be fully felt.No. 1 is a masterpiece from Brahms's youth, a great work that requires the pianist to hit strong keys and sound massive, with a mixture of respect for his teacher Schumann and admiration for Clara. Buchbinder seems to have a particular attachment to this work and has studied it diligently from the autograph score. While showing the dignity of a great master, the passionate performance of this work conveys the fresh sensibility and overflowing passion of Brahms's youth. King International
