Johannes Brahms circa 1885
Symphonic in scale with four movements instead of a concerto’s typical three, and omitting cadenzas where the soloist can improvise which are typical of a concerto, the Piano Concerto No. 2 by Johannes Brahms is today's Midday Masterpiece. Emil Gilels is the soloist with the legendary combination of Fritz Reiner conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
