Title: Fervor and passion reign in this recording
Product review: Unlike the previous commentator, I knew exactly what I was buying: period piano, period strings etc., when I hastened to make my purchase. Well, a period piano in this case means that it was the kind of piano that Brahms knew and loved and wrote his music for. The pianist in this recording was more than adequate and the string players easily achieved a balance with her both in expression and in the actual sound. The texture is transparent and the expression both dramatic and natural. Try the scherzo movement from the quintet: the performance sounding beautiful and brutal at the same time, or, in terms of high romanticism, sublime.
