Brahms: The Violin Sonatas

Leonidas Kavakos

Classical - Released March 31, 2014 | Decca Music Group Ltd.

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions Gramophone Editor's Choice
This cycle of Brahms' violin sonatas presents two of the more charismatic artists on the current scene, neither of them particularly known for Brahms. It works quite a bit better than you might expect. In a way pianist Yuja Wang is the star of the show. The Brahms sonatas still carry a trace of the violin sonata's origins with a violin accompanying the keyboard, and it is often the pianist who leads and sets the tone; in many movements Wang establishes a warmth and depth that are a bit out of character with her usual flamboyant style. She then plays nicely off of Kavakos' lyrical lines with her own more urgent style. The deeper logic of these works might be better served by a more neutral approach, but the overall impression is of two distinct personalities in conversation about the music, and that's the chamber music ideal. An added attraction is the presence of the scherzo from the early F-A-E Sonata, a work collaboratively written by Brahms, Schumann, and Albert Dietrich; Brahms' scherzo is a sort of essay in the Beethoven short-short-short long motif, and it allows Wang to really take command. An enjoyable outing that shows Wang, especially, developing talents beyond her comfort zone. Overly closely miked sound detracts from the experience.© TiVo

Brahms : Viola Sonatas, Op. 120 - Zwei Gesänge, Op. 91

Antoine Tamestit

Chamber Music - Released February 12, 2021 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet
It's hard to imagine how anything could have been improved upon with this Brahms recital from three of Harmonia Mundi's most sensitive and interesting artists. The programming alone is a work of art: the idea of pairing the viola versions of Brahms's two autumnal Op. 120 Clarinet Sonatas inspired by Meiningen Orchestra clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld, with three further softly intimate works of his showcasing the viola's similarities with the human voice – viola and piano arrangements of Nachtigall from the six Op. 97 Songs (extra resonant, when Brahms described Mühlfeld as the nightingale of the orchestra) and the famous Op. 49 Wiegenlied, followed by the Op. 91 Zwei Gesänge for Voice, Viola and Piano. Then there's the instruments, because for Tamestit and Tiberghien these are just as important to the music's alchemy as the abilities of the performers, and their quest to find the perfect match for the penetrating, multi-shaded tones of Tamestit's Stradivarius viola eventually led them to an 1899 Bechstein piano. The result was two instruments capable of a range of colours and roundness of sound across all registers and through even the most virtuosic of passages; and that's precisely what you hear across the resultant lyrically tender, natural-feeling readings, because beyond the hand in glove chamber partnering you're hearing, their respective tones are both alive with colouristic complexities and verily glowing. Then, beyond being simply delicious, the vocal quality Tamestit draws out from the famous Wiegenlied melody serves as the perfect overture to the programme's Zwei Gesänge – shaped icing on the cake – yet another perfect combination, Tamestit's lines lovingly encircling and dovetailing with Goerne's own richly warm, gentle baritone, the polished Teldex Studio engineering casting them on satisfyingly equal footings with each other, with the piano just slightly behind. In short, absolutely gorgeous. © Charlotte Gardner/Qobuz

Brahms, Schumann & Mahler: Lieder

Renée Fleming

Classical - Released June 14, 2019 | Decca Music Group Ltd.

Hi-Res Booklet
A long break. In the fall of 2018, Renée Fleming sang for Broadway musicals under the BBC Concert Orchestra led by Rob Fisher including the likes of Jerome Kern, Richard Rogers, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Sondheim, and some lesser-known names. A little unexpected yet welcome, with this new work, the American soprano returns to a more traditional repertoire. To be precise, she puts forward a very beautiful selection of Brahms’ Lieder, the entirety of Schumann’s Fraueliebe und -Leben Op. 42, and finally Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder in an orchestral interpretation led by Christian Thielemann with the Münchner Philharmoniker. Today, Renée Fleming’s tone is perfectly crepuscular, autumnal and suitable for these Lieders filled with melancholy. Harmut Höll’s accompaniments are beautiful (especially in Brahms), and the direction of Thielemann is often poetic

Johannes Brahms: Sonatas & Liebeslieder for Cello and Piano

Emmanuelle Bertrand

Chamber Music - Released July 23, 2021 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet
Emmanuelle Bertrand and Pascal Amoyel celebrate their twenty years together as a cello and piano duet. It is hardly surprising that they chose to mark this anniversary with the music of Brahms, a composer who has been a constant on their beautiful journey together: beyond his two ultra-romantic sonatas, they take the listeners to an even deeper emotional realm, that of his lieder, splendidly “sung” here by the cello! © harmonia mundi

Brahms: Cello Sonatas & Songs

Antônio Meneses

Chamber Music - Released June 3, 2022 | Avie Records

Hi-Res Booklet
In 2022, legendary cellist Antonio Meneses celebrates his 65th birthday and the 40th anniversary of winning first prize and the gold medal at the 1982 Tchaikovsky Competition. Shortly after that triumph Antonio made a renowned recording of Brahms’ Double Concerto with conductor Herbert von Karajan. He revisits the composer’s music on his eleventh recording for AVIE Records and his first of Brahms’ two Cello Sonatas, generously paired with a selection of lieder arrangements. Antonio mines Brahms’ baritonal sound world, extracting the full expressive range of the cello. Similar qualities infuse a selection of seven Lieder in arrangements that sound so effective on the cello that one cannot help but wonder whether somewhere in the back of his mind Brahms had the sound of the instrument – he was, after all, an accomplished player in his youth, and it would remain central to his chamber music output throughout his life. © AVIE Records

Gina Alice

Classical - Released November 5, 2021 | Universal Music China

Download not available
This release by pianist Gina Alice (Gina Alice Redlinger), wife of the famed Lang Lang (who turns up on a couple of tracks here), was recorded in Shanghai and made and marketed through the Universal conglomerate's Chinese division. They've done their jobs well; the sound from the Shanghai Vocational School of Contemporary Music's studio is excellent. Several of the short pieces on the program are Chinese in the vein of traditional melodies. Thus, one may take this release as an example of the growing effort to market classical music to Chinese audiences, and as such, it is quite interesting. It's also a bit ironic, for Gina Alice is not Chinese but a German of Korean background. Perhaps, for this reason, the album has appeared as part of the regular release schedule of the Deutsche Grammophon label, a division of Universal these days. Indeed, it shows quite a mix of influences; Gina Alice puts together the materials of a crossover album in unusual ways. She moves from Schumann to Max Richter to Ryuichi Sakamoto to Brian Eno, treating them all as part of the same musical universe and sequencing them effectively. The mood has the usual crossover dreamy calm but admits variation, and the fact that this is a double album is unusual in itself. Is this a crossover album aimed at drive-time stress elimination? Yes, and its marketing is calibrated within an inch of its life, but it is also a distinctive example of the genre, and one has the feeling of glimpsing part of the life of classical music in the coming Asian Century.© James Manheim /TiVo
