When Paul Badura-Skoda sat down in 2008 to perform the First Piano Concerto by Brahms, then one can certainly expect something special: not only is it true that the perennial Austrian master has been one of the greatest pianists of the past decades, he is also an artist on a quest, and has pored over the scores of Brahms’s oeuvre for over fifty years. The results of this work are heard not only in the wonderfully clear and flowing rendition of one of the milestones in history of 19th century music, but also inform the revelatory, clear analysis and almost poetic booklet notes. An important new addition to the Genuin catalog.
