I like Brahms’s piano music.
I’ve got quite a big collection of recordings already, so it’s
probably a bit silly to be asking about recordings.
But I’m enjoying his music so much – early, middle and late – that I
am wondering whether there are any sleepers you have discovered, any
stuff you have found on line which may not be available through normal
channels, any younger pianists who are successful in his music, and so
on.
I’ll start this off by mentioning one that I have been completely
overwhelmed by recently – Kocsis in Op 5. The end of the Andante,
especially, has some of the best Brahms playing I have ever heard.
