Brahms: Piano Concerto #1 / Tiberghien

Cédric Tiberghien (piano) BBC Symphony Orchestra, Jiří Bělohlávek

Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15 Variations on a theme by Haydn for orchestra, Op. 56a 'St Anthony Variations'

“The Leipzig audience who gave the young Brahms’s concerto such a hostile reception — outraged by its uncompromising violence — missed not only its masterly construction, but also its sweetness, the dolce element that runs through it and, in that glorious coda, resolves the conflict and heals its wounds. I feel that Tiberghien, for all his power and sure control, misses it too, in his unusually percussive playing”
