Johannes Brahms - 1st Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in D minor op. 15

Sometimes it's love at second sight: At the Leipzig premiere of his 1st Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, Johannes Brahms received harsh reviews - almost 200 years later, his work is highly regarded by classical music audiences. This also applies to the Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi , whose interpretation is on the program this evening. Joseph Haydn's Symphony in D major, on the other hand, was an instant audience favorite, which thrilled London audiences at the time. And what is your verdict on Erwin Schulhoff's Five Pieces for String Quartet?
