You can hear Brahms in the room. Beautiful. The Brahhms Intermezzos are the just reward for playing the piano all my life.

I wish I could play more of them. They are glittering diamonds, every one of them.

Perfectly paced and more nuanced than I've ever heard. Great insight and respect for the music.

Beautiful -- so sensitive! Wish I had that depth of soul :(

Absolutely sublime ! many thanks !!

Love the way you play this. Best I've heard. You give the phrases enough time for us to savour. Often played far too fast for adagio as marked. Beautiful. I must research what other videos you have made. Thank you very much.

Indeed, Josephine... Brahms wrote to Clara Schumann that the piece was "exceptionally melancholy," and should be played as if *ritardando* were written for each bar and note, as if "one wished to draw... voluptuous joy and comfort out of the discords." [Jan Swafford, Brahms, p. 586 - qtg. Letter from May, 1893, in Litzmann, *Letters of Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms*, Vol. 2 [1877-96], p. 228 - available on Archive Org]
