Moog and Deutsche Radio Philharmonie perform Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2 and R Strauss' Burleske
Something seems missing from this account of Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Joseph Moog’s opening flourishes are dry, and his Allegro non troppo carries no sense of emotional drive; his passagework lacks lyricism; the orchestral playing is efficient, but has no signposting to what should be the score’s moments of wonder.
