CD Reviews

Exquisite Brahms miniatures

David Stamm | New York, NY | 10/07/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The second sonata (composed before the first sonata, but published by the mercilessly self-critical Brahms soon afterwards) is the least performed and recorded of the three. This exquisite performance by seasoned Brahms interpreter Emanuel Ax might claim to be the definitive version.

The sonata is soundly upstaged by a rare complete collection of the Four Piano Pieces, op. 119 and the Seven Fantasies, Op. 116. Brahms' miniatures for solo piano deserve a place with those of Schubert and Scriabin, and Ax's breathtaking performances leave the listener in no doubt as to why. I highly recommend this disc to newcomers and old friends of Brahms alike.
