The Concerto is in the beautiful expressions of Simon Rattle's face, and in his wonderful conducting.... inspired by the superb sound of this amazing Orchestra and it's Musicians, the Pianist.

Even when I should become deaf once, being old, I will still watch the Concerto, and will be connected with the Absolute Beauty... be one with it, again, and again...

Thank you, Simon Rattle... Sir Simon Rattle.

listen to this... and tell me Brahms wasn't in love with Clara Schumann...

[TheVaccumtube]

@alexbernstein yes the second movement adagio is utterly romantic, I have dedicated this movement to the love of my life, like Brahms dedicated THE ADAGIO to Clara Schumann as history told us.

[alexbernstein]

@TheVaccumtube I agree with you on "Simon Rattle's funny way of conducting". By the way, this is a wonderful romantic piece indeed.

@jav888 It is indeed Concerto No. 1. The excerpt is from its second movement though.

such a shame that the recording isn't ending in the tonic

[dzeljpiano]

He is my favourite conductor !

[longeaton34]

This a beautiful posting, many thanks. Here is a man utterly in love with this movement! Rattle is by far one of our finest conductors of the Romantic concerto and symphony - he just gets it right. let him loose with Brahms, Strauss, Bruckner (and don't get me started on Mahler....) and this guy is is the best.

[thatwilldonicely]

@TheVaccumtube i think Brahms in this movement 'let himself go' so to speak with absolute passion and intensity, perhaps it shocked him somewhat as i dont think he really completely let himself loose again.

[sfrenchhorn07]

@TheVaccumtube You notice a resemblance to the slow movment of his first symphony?

BRAHMS PIANO CONCERTO NO.1 SECOND MOVEMENT ADAGIO... My most favourite piece and certainly the most romantic movement ever composed by Johannes. In my mind, Vladimir Ashkenazy's playing of this piece conducted by Bernard Haitink on Decca from early 1980's is the invincible version, but this one's good too, although I'm not too keen on Simon Rattle's funny way of conducting.
