Brahms will always be special to me because the first classical music CD I ever bought was, Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2
In fact I listened to the CD last night at midnight to celebrate the birthday of Brahms. I purchased the CD in 1984 and all these years later the CD is still providing great enjoyment to me.
If you have never heard Brahms Piano Concerto 1 or 2 I would strongly recommend you do so.
Here is a CD that contains both:
Brahms: Concertos for Piano No. 1 & 2, Fantasia Op. 116
[IMPORT] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
You can purchase the CD at this link:
