About
Arrau was 66 when he made this recording of Johannes Brahms’s Piano Concerto no.2 in B flat major. After a powerful, incisive opening, Arrau piles up the tension with steely determination and ends the opening movement with triumphant trills. In the wild scherzo he kindles demonic fire; in the dreamy Andante he stokes sweet and magical sounds for his reverie.
The gigantic, demonic opening of Brahms’s First Piano Concerto is performed by Arrau with an impressive grandeur and precise phrasing, epically matched by SWR’s Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra under Eliahu Inbal.
These recordings are being released for the first time.
