Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (piano)

Filmed at the RTSI Auditorium, Lugano, 7 April 1981

“I do not play for others, but only for myself in the service of the composer. It makes no difference whether there is an audience or not; when I am at the keyboard I am lost. And I think of what I play, and of the sound that comes forth, which is a product of the mind.“ Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli

Daniel Barenboim

Brahms:

Piano Sonata No. 3 in F minor, Op. 5

Ballades (4), Op. 10

Daniel Barenboim (piano)

“…enjoyment of the disc came from Barenboim’s richly imaginative, very personally committed response to the composer’s overflowing romanticism. He leaves us in no doubt that every note sprang from an acutely susceptible heart… technical supremacy pales into insignificance alongside his musical insight, and nowhere more so than in the moonlit poetry of the Andante and the nostalgic Ruckblick, both exquisitely nuanced and shaded within an unbroken liquid flow. As for the finale, he finds unity in its diversity before a masterly revelation of Brahms’s contrapuntal cunning in the triumphant home-coming.” Gramophone Magazine

Hardy Rittner (piano)

Young pianist, Hardy Rittner performs these very early piano pieces by Brahms. Schumann heard Brahms performing these pieces and the rapturous reception he gave them, made the young composer famous over night. Rittner plays on a Johann Baptist Streicher Piano dated 1851 from the Collection by Gert Hecher, Vienna. So well preserved and cared for is this instrument that it still has many of its original strings!
