Brahms - Complete String Quartets and G Major Viola Quintet with Roger Tapping

Grieg - Piano Concerto (1)

French pianist Hélène Grimaud has done what few have dared try-- record both Brahms Piano Concertos No. 1 (performed live with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra), and No. 2 (performed with the Vienna Philharmonic). It’s her personal Everest, after first discovering the romance and drama of  No. 1 as a young girl, and combining it with No. 2, a decidedly different and evolved piece. Grimaud discusses the events of Brahms’ life in conjunction with these two masterpieces.
