A musical portrait of the young Brahms and his friendship with the Schumanns.
In "New Paths", Mari Kodama explores the young Johannes Brahms and his fascinating friendship with Clara and Robert Schumann. The album derives its title from Robert Schumann’s famous essay 'Neue Bahnen", in which he heralded the young Brahms as the most eminent musical voice of the future. The programme brings together Brahms’s First Piano Sonata, his Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, Op. 9, as well as his Theme and Variations, Op. 18B, made at Clara Schumann’s request. The final word is given to Clara’s arrangement of Robert’s song Widmung.
"New Paths" not only explores the unique bond of these three remarkable composers, but also shows the energetic self-confidence of the young Brahms, so different from his later melancholia. Kodama performs these works on a brand new Yamaha piano that almost sounds like a period instrument, coming much closer to Brahms’s sound ideal. © Pentatone
