Description:

German virtuoso Josef Moog! The long-awaited Brahms 1st Concerto!Born in 1987, the young German winner of the British Gramophone Award for "Young Artist of the Year" in 2015 and nominated for the 58th Grammy Award in 2016 for "Grieg & Moszkowski: Piano Concertos (ONYX 4144)". Virtuoso pianist Josef Moog's ninth release for ONYX is the long-awaited Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1! Consistently successful in recording Romantic piano concertos and piano works by Chopin, Liszt, Grieg, Moszkowski, Scharvenka, Rubinsztein, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and others, Mogg has also released his 2017 releases Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2, R. Strauss: The Burleske (ONYX4169)," also highly acclaimed by Gramophone Magazine ("The technical talent is as evident as it gets... The scherzo sounds unthinkably easy on the human ear."), the recording of the first concerto is also highly anticipated. As a coupling, the recording includes the "Four Pieces" from his later years, in contrast to the early concertos. Tokyo M-Plus
