The concerto is conducted by Manfred Honeck and performed by the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. The performance is a perfect blend of symphonic majesty, technical brilliance, and intimate musical dialogue. Piemontage's teacher, Alfred Brendel, recorded \"Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2\" twice, once in 1973 with Haitink \u0026amp; Concertgebouw Orchestra, which is impressive for its sensitive and poetic expression. On the other hand, the 1991 recording with Abbado and the Berliner Philharmoniker stands out for its larger scale, more beautiful construction, and thicker sound. What both recordings have in common is Brendel's intelligent and introspective approach, and they are masterful performances that show a high affinity with the profound music of Brahms. In this recording, Brendel's deep musicality is evident throughout, while Piemontage's brilliant and powerful touch resonates with Honeck's precise and passionate conducting, bringing rich depth and new life to Brahms's masterpiece.\n\nHorneck describes his collaboration with Piemontage this way: \"Piemontage's playing is ideally attuned to Brahms' musical world through a refined tonal sense and natural phrasing. This recording is the fruit of our long-standing and artistically mature interpretations of Brahms' works.We see piano and orchestra as equals, building the concerto as a grand symphonic structure.\"\n\nThe companion piece, \"Three Interludes, Op. 117,\" depicts the serene beauty of Brahms' inner life.\n\n\n\n\u003cfrancesco piemontage born in locarno italian-speaking part of switzerland he won the third prize at queen elisabeth international music competition has performed with bavarian radio symphony orchestra bbc and conductors such as sakari oramo mikhail pletnyov will make his debut berlin philharmonic pentatone\u003e\u003c\/francesco\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PentaTone Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51600974250273,"sku":"8717306264617","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/8717306264617.jpg?v=1755334461","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-it\/products\/8717306264617","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
