Brahms & Bruckner: Motets

Anton Bruckner

Classical - Released October 30, 2015 | Signum Records

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions 5 de Diapason
Maybe the combination of Brahms and Bruckner with the British choir Tenebrae sounds a little strange: the choir has specialized in Renaissance music and generally in music built on that sound ideal. Maybe the combination of the abstract, devout, and technically demanding Bruckner with the friendly and humanist Brahms sounds a little strange, too. But it all works out very nicely. In the 19th century, when choral music was a bigger part of everyday musical life than it is now, this would have been a program any good municipal choir would have loved to present. And Tenebrae bulks up its style a bit. They hit Bruckner's punishing high notes with the requisite perfect chill, and you can sample one of the large motets at the beginning, such as Ecce sacerdos (track three), for the full range of this choir's remarkable technical control under director Nigel Short. In Brahms pieces like the familiar "How lovely are thy dwellings" from the German Requiem, Op. 45 (track 11), the choir might even be called unusually weighty. Signum hits the ball out of the park sonically with engineering work at London's Temple Church, and the end result is a satisfying and unusual choral disc.

Brahms: Piano Sonata No. 3 Op. 5 & Handel Variations

Jonathan Fournel

Classical - Released October 22, 2021 | Alpha Classics

Hi-Res Booklet
The pianist Jonathan Fournel, recent prizewinner of the prestigious 2021 Queen Elisabeth Competition (where he won not only the Queen Elisabeth Grand Prix, but also the Queen Mathilde Prize, the Musiq3 Audience Prize and the Canvas-Klara Award) has joined the Alpha label for several recordings, starting with a Brahms programme recorded in the superb acoustic of the music room at La Chaux-de-Fonds just before the Competition: "Over the years, for me Brahms has become a figure I admire so tremendously, a composer I can never tire of. It was fairly obvious to me that I had to make my first recording with these two works that I love so much". The 28-year-old French pianist has been gathering many plaudits for his concerts and shows all the signs of developing a great career and a highly individual artistic path. © Alpha Classics

Brahms: The Hungarian Connection

Andreas Ottensamer

Classical - Released February 18, 2015 | Mercury KX

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions 5 Sterne Fono Forum Klassik
Andreas Ottensamer, principal clarinetist of the Berlin Philharmonic, has released several innovatively programmed albums without resorting to common crossover formulas. Brahms: The Hungarian Connection is another. The title is perhaps a bit too strong in that the last part of the program does not consist of music by Brahms and, in fact, has no direct connection to Brahms. But as a recital juxtaposing Hungarian folk sounds with their ramifications in the concert repertoire, the program works well. Some may not have thought of the Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op. 115, as a Hungarian piece, but listen again to the slow movement passage where the string quartet conjures up a cimbalom. The extremely gentle performance of the quintet is worth the price of admission in itself; for a reading by an all-star group as opposed to an established ensemble, it breathes unusually well. The quartet's cellist, Stephan Koncz, arranged the rest of the music for clarinet and string quartet, and he certainly doesn't do anything an average Viennese musician might not have attempted during Brahms' lifetime. From two lightly Hungarian waltzes (one from the Op. 39 set for piano four-hands and one from the Liebeslieder Waltzes, Op. 52), listeners move into more explicitly Hungarian material, first arranged by Brahms and then by other composers. It's an unorthodox recital structure, but it's effective, leading both to some little-known and fun pieces (the Two Movements of Hungarian composer Leó Weiner) and then to an infectious Transylvanian dance medley finale. Ottensamer's tone modulates nicely from ultra-smooth in the Brahms to peppy in the more Hungarian pieces. Recommended for Brahmsians and clarinet lovers alike.© TiVo

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
