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: Piano Sonata No. 3, Op. 5 & Intermezzi, Op. 119 Nos. 1 & 2

Orozco Rafael

Classical - Released January 1, 1971 | Warner Classics

Hi-Res
This long-awaited return of the recordings made for His Master's Voice by Rafael Orozco between the late 1960s and early 1970s, a few years before the Spanish pianist signed a contract with Philips, is quite an event. These early Orozco records - never reissued since the release of the LP - show an unprecedented musicality, a magnificent, full-bodied sound, combined with great precision in the attacks. This is the Brahms LP, recorded in Paris at the Salle Wagram on 13 May 1970. Brahms' Third Sonata remains phenomenal in its structural clarity. The Allegro maestoso is striking in the breadth of its gesture, implacable and 'anti-hieratic'. The Andante espressivo, whose opening surprises with its fast tempo, is touching because of its infinite tenderness, free of the slightest sentimentality, especially as Rafael Orozco lends a sensual and very intimate atmosphere to the most contemplative moments of the movement. He masterfully differentiates between moments of naturalistic tonality and others that are more animated by feelings of love, as Claudio Arrau has already pointed out in connection with this Andante. The next two movements are what they are, scenes of life. In the Intermezzo, Rafael Orozco is particularly sensitive to the tolling of the knell in the final pages, which are quite astonishing and almost anticipate certain Mahlerian passages. The Finale forms a perfect counterpart to the first movement: Orozco's alert and radiant playing, so supple, never monolithic and yet with an astonishing feeling of fullness, is here nothing but smiles and evasion. What a pianist! The two Intermezzi of Opus 119 will only confirm the poetic uniqueness of a pianist who is now scandalously forgotten by all his publishers. We can't wait for more! © Pierre-Yves Lascar/Qobuz

Brahms: Symphonies Nos 1-4

Bernard Haitink

Symphonies - Released October 11, 2005 | LSO Live

Hi-Res Booklet
These London Symphony Orchestra recordings were made at the Barbican in London in 2003 and 2004. The set includes not only the four Brahms symphonies but also the Tragic Overture, Op. 81, the Double Concerto in A minor, Op. 102, and the Serenade No. 2 in A major, Op. 16. It adds up to more than four hours of music, but one can make a strong case for this as the Brahms set to own for those who want just one, especially for those who aren't concerned with audio quality. There is much to sink one's teeth into here -- over a lifetime. There are conductors with greater warmth than Bernard Haitink, and there are those who chip away stone to reveal Brahms' intricacies, but perhaps none where these elements are in such perfect balance. Haitink delivers a classically noble Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68, the work in which Brahms finally came to terms with the overwhelming influence of Beethoven. Yet, in smaller details, too, the set is delightful. Sample the perfectly sculpted rhythmic fillips in the Scherzo of the Serenade No. 2. The passacaglia finale of the Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98, is a profound structure built painstakingly from small details. The list goes on; almost everywhere here is something to consider at length. © James Manheim /TiVo
