BRAHMS, J.: Piano Music - Variations / Waltzes / Hungarian Dances / Piano Sonata No. 3 / 4 Ballades / Fantasies / 2 Rhapsodies (Klien)

The solo piano music of Brahms straddles the height of the Romantic era. In his early works there is an explosive passion exemplified by the Piano Sonata in f as well as pieces that reflect the artistic and personal influence of Robert Schumann. His late works written in the last years of his life, are miniatures displaying intimacy and a chromatic tension which anticipated and influenced the works of the Second Viennese School.

Walter Klien’s legendary VOX recordings capture the depth and breadth of these pivotal and powerful piano masterpieces. Aside from the profound progression from early to late works, there is the flamboyance and beauty of his most popular works for two pianos, the Hungarian Dances and 16 Waltzes. In these works he is joined by Alfred Brendel and Beatriz Klien who each in their own way make formidable partners.
