| |  | Brahms: Rhapsodies, Intermezzi & Klavierstücke
Jonas Vitaud is an acclaimed young French pianist, and this is his debut solo CD recording. Includes all of Brahm’s final solo piano pieces, plus the Rhapsodies Op.79. Jonas has been passionate about Brahms since an early age, and this CD is the culmination of a long-established desire to record Brahms’ music. “A deep, resonant tone, the way he plays immediately captures the attention and works miracles” Alain Cochard, Diapason “Vitaud's intelligent musicianship, rock-solid technique and cultivated sonority impress, along with a few unusual yet convincing tempo options...Vitaud's finest moments are worth hearing and I look forward to following his career.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2012 “These well-contrasted pieces suggest that Vitaud has the technique to span the gamut of expressions, from wrathful heroism to tension-filled chiaroscuro. I felt an unduly restricted range of tone-colour, however...That apart, he produces highly sympathetic, beautifully phrased and voiced accounts of these pieces with their elusive moods and half-lights: a pleasure to hear.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2012 **** | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | Brahms - Piano Music
“Here are 71 minutes of the finest Brahms piano music, played by one of the outstanding Brahms exponents of our day. What's most treasurable about it is the quiet rapture of some of the most quintessentially Brahmsian moments; for example, the way Lupu sleepwalks into the last section of Op 117 No 3 and the revelation in Op 118 No 2 that the inversion of the theme is even more beautiful than its original statement. The Op 79 Rhapsodies are perhaps a fraction less memorable.
Decca's recording sounds a little bottom-heavy, in the manner of certain Ashkenazy records of this vintage, and in the heavier textures of the Rhapsodies Lupu compounds the problem by reinforcing the bass with octaves and even fifths.
Still, this remains as fine a selection of Brahms's piano works as you're likely to find on one disc.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 | | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
