This is the first recording of pianist Igor Levit, conductor Christian Thielemann and the Vienna Philharmonic with Brahms' two Piano Concertos. The release is a triple-CD album with Levit's recording of Brahm's late solo piano works opp 116-119. As a special encore Levit and Thielemann also play the four-hand Brahms Waltz op. 39/15 together. After Igor Levit, Christian Thielemann, and the Vienna Philharmonic performed Brahms' First Piano Concerto at Vienna's famous Musikverein in April 2024 the Viennese newspaper The Standard wrote: 'During these fifty minutes, an irresistible dose of emotion was conveyed - but at the same time the sophisticated structure of Brahms' masterpiece remained crystal clear'. Four months earlier after their performance of the Second Piano Concerto, the Austrian newspaper Die Presse had declared that 'Igor Levit sets a new gold standard for Brahms'.
