War-horses to the rescue: Brahms and Beethoven at St David’s Hall, Cardiff

Simon Rees, 9th May

The joy of listening to Brahms’s piano concertos in a concert hall – especially one with such fine acoustics as St David’s Hall, Cardiff – is that textures and harmonies that can sound thick, muddy and ill-balanced in recordings come across with all their intricate, closely-woven contrapuntal writing clear and thrilling.
