"Yes, it's an enormous amount of work, but it's a work that gives and gives and gives," enthuses Igor Levit about Johannes Brahms' Second Piano Concerto. It is considered one of the most difficult concertos in the piano literature, which demands constant presence from the soloist - as the "control center" he is always in dialogue with the orchestra, delivering new ideas, adding motifs, setting impulses. But who, if not Igor Levit, a pianist full of irrepressible creative power, would be up to this challenge?

With Christian Thielemann he also has an absolute expert on the repertoire of the 19th century at his side. And the Vienna Philharmonic? Their name has been synonymous with first-class orchestral sound for almost 200 years. Even the reserved Brahms described himself almost euphorically as a "friend and admirer" of the orchestra. His compositions are undoubtedly in the best hands with the Viennese!
