Alan Gilbert conducts Brahms masterworks, including the sublimely lyrical and virtuosic Second Piano Concerto — which “touches on almost every emotion with extraordinary immediacy and power” (Naxos) — with Grammy winner Emanuel Ax. “When he performs ... you’re in good hands” (The Washington Post). Plus a World Premiere that “strives to mine the innate expressiveness of the voice as an instrument,” says the composer.
