Emil Gilels is known as one of the most talented pianists of the modern day. Born and raised in Russia, Gilels did not become well known to the rest of the world until after the end of War World II, when he was finally allowed to tour the world. The dynamics of the piano on this release is incredible to hear and features Johannes Brahms’ impressive Piano Concerto No. 2 in B Flat major. This Concerto is conducted perfectly by Fritz Reiner and performed by the help of the ever-talented Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The Stereo version of this performance is rare to find.
