Boris Berezovsky – Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2 (2011/2014) [FLAC 24bit/44,1kHz]

Acclaimed pianist Boris Berezovsky, joined here by the Orchestre Philharmonique de l’Oural led by Dmitri Liss, revel in Johannes Brahms’ exhilarating second piano concerto – a sweeping epic combining Classical nobility and Romantic fire. With the same joy and virtuosity, Berezovsky’s performances of the Variations on a Theme of Paganini and the Hungarian Dances prove once again that Brahms was one of the last great masters of the Romantic piano.

This must be one of the fastest Brahms Second Concertos on disc…Some of it is, perhaps, just too impetuous but how thrilling it is to hear the music taken by the scruff of the neck and handled so imperiously. Liss and his players catch the spirit of the maverick soloist…There has been a trend over the past few decades to adopt ever more solemn tempos for the great concertos warhorses. Berezovsky reverses the trend.” (Classic FM)

“Boris Berezovsky’s opening salvo is exactly that, dazzling in its own way…His is a physical approach, an athletic dash through the first movement, which lacks repose at crucial moments but is appealingly exciting.” (International Record Review)
