  • Description

    History of the Piano Concerto in D minor by Johannes Brahms: how the composer initially planned a sonata for two pianos and then a symphony; how Beethoven's overwhelming legacy inhibited him; how the young composer also as a pianist ended up delighting his audiences in Hanover but unsettling them in Leipzig.

    Dina Ugorskaja, performing with the Brandenburg Symphony under the conductor and Siemens Prize recipient Peter Gülke, is now presenting this work in its essence: a magnificent contribution to the music literature that even 160 years after its premiere continues to be filled with enigmas and marvels.

    As an encore, Dina Ugorskaja offers a highly poetic rendering of the three Intermezzi from Brahms's op.117, a work from his late period.

    Lovingly produced and recorded in the best 2+2+2 technique
    in three dimensions on MDG's Super Audio CD, this ambitious program featuring these so very different works is an enriching addition to every record collection.
