布拉姆斯: 幻想曲, 作品116/間奏曲, 作品117/鋼琴小品, 作品118
卡蒂雅-布列松 鋼琴

Hortense Cartier-Bresson is a major figure of the French piano. Teacher of numerous famous pianists, she offers here in a rare interpretation the substance of her musical knowledge.

Exploring Brahms’ late piano pieces, this recording deploys a three-parts succession of musical and poetic miniatures. All of them reveal and reflect, one after another, the composer’s intimate imagination. Sometimes spirited, sometimes enigmatic or contemplative, they unfurl in the mists of Brahms’ musical arcane, fed by his own life experience.

The intellectual and musical maturity that emerges from this interpretation echoes the inner depths these works require. Hortense Cartier-Bresson gives her most masterful lesson as she finally reveals the secret of the last Brahms.
