On 21 April 1960, Claudio Arrau recorded Johannes Brahms' 1st Piano Concerto in London with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Carlo Maria Giulini - under the auspices of Walter Legge, the legendary artistic director of EMI, who hired the pianist. The Chilean pianist is an immense Brahmsian, and here he delivers a masterly version that is at once heroic and tragically profound.
