Simon Trpčeski & Cristian Măcelaru - Brahms: Piano Concertos - The Times
It’s also in the second concerto that Macelaru and the orchestra really hit the heights, whether surging forward in bulk or bewitching us with horn and cello solos, all crucial parts of the music’s extraordinarily wide-ranging tapestry. This is the kind of release where everyone wins: musicians, listeners, and Brahms himself.
