Nelson Goerner, NHK Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo, Tadaaki Otaka - Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2 (2018)

Nelson Goerner is not especially known for his Brahms, and this 2018 Alpha release of the Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major marks his first commercial recording of a major Brahms work. While he is widely viewed as a poet at the piano, mostly because of his introspective playing of solo piano music by Chopin and Debussy, Goerner's close-to-the-vest approach may be viewed as a liability in such a heroic and powerful work as this concerto, where assertive playing is required and pianists are expected to demonstrate muscular prowess over poetry. Yet all depends on the collaboration between the soloist and the conductor to bring a balance of dynamics and expressions to this work, which offers many reflective sections and provides ample room for thoughtful exchanges. Goerner is attentively supported by Tadaaki Otaka with the NHK Symphony Orchestra in this 2009 concert performance, and while they are solidly present in the loud and fast passages, they still make their presence known in the softer episodes, underscoring the piano with transparent accompaniment and joining Goerner in his understated playing, particularly in the subdued and pensively lyrical Andante. While listeners may be excused for wanting a more forceful interpretation, this live performance will still attract Goerner's fans and appeal to listeners looking for a new take on this familiar opus. – Blair Sanderson
