The 3rd was the first I ever heard, and I loved it; but after hearing the 1st, I'm loving that one just as much!

Would like to hear the 2nd and 4th.

Each has its own merits. It's sacrilege to compare them.

To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31.
