Kyohei Sorita plays Brahms' first piano concerto, and there's music by Mozart, Debussy and Respighi.

Presented by Fiona Talkington

The first of Brahms' two piano concertos is built on an epic scale, with a brooding, turbulent first movement which takes up almost half of the playing time. In this specially-recorded performance, young Japanese virtuoso Kyohei Sorita is joined by the NDR Symphony Orchestra and American maestro Alan Gilbert.
