Igor Levit / Christian Thielemann / Vienna Philharmonic | Brahms: Piano Concertos and Solo Piano Opp. 116–119 | 3CD

Igor Levit is a pianist whose recordings give close attention to structure, colour and the expressive character of a score. His repertoire connects established keyboard works with an interest in demanding and unusual programmes.

Igor Levit performs Brahms's piano concertos with Christian Thielemann and the Vienna Philharmonic, alongside late solo piano works. The collection places orchestral performances and intimate keyboard writing within a single programme.
