Info for Brahms Piano Concertos

Als Einstand bei Sony Classical stellt sich der junge Adam Laloum, der bisher gerade für seine einfühlsamen Interpretationen romantischer Musik von der Kritik gelobt wurde, gleich zwei massiven Herausforderungen: dem dramatischen d-moll-Konzert und dem epischen B-Dur-Klavierkonzert von Johannes Brahms. Und er bewältigt beide souverän und mit viel feingliedriger Finesse. Dem steht das Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester unter Kazuki Yamada auch nicht nach.
