Classics Explained: Brahms - Piano Concerto No. 2

There is perhaps no great piano concerto grander than the Brahms B Flat. With the spaciousness of a symphony, the drama of an opera, the intimacy of a lullaby and the intertwining raptures of the greatest love songs. It touches on almost every emotion with extraordinary immediacy and power. It's virtuosity is spell-binding, yet always substantial.
