5.0 out of 5 stars
exquisite Brahms miniatures,
By
This review is from: Brahms: 7 Fantasies, Op. 116; 4 Piano Pieces, Op. 119; Sonata No. 2, Op. 2 (Audio CD)
The second sonata (composed before the first sonata, but published by the mercilessly self-critical Brahms soon afterwards) is the least performed and recorded of the three. This exquisite performance by seasoned Brahms interpreter Emanuel Ax might claim to be the definitive version.
The sonata is soundly upstaged by a rare complete collection of the Four Piano Pieces, op. 119 and the Seven Fantasies, Op. 116. Brahms' miniatures for solo piano deserve a place with those of Schubert and Scriabin, and Ax's breathtaking performances leave the listener in no doubt as to why. I highly recommend this disc to newcomers and old friends of Brahms alike.

Five Stars for Emanual Ax...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brahms: 7 Fantasies, Op. 116; 4 Piano Pieces, Op. 119; Sonata No. 2, Op. 2 (Audio CD)
Emanuel Ax performs these Brahms masterpieces like no other! Emanuel Ax is generally considered to be a great Brahms interpreter and an overall good pianist. This cd proves it. Emanuel Ax shows great expression and technical proficiency in this selection. This cd belongs at the top of every Johannes Brahms collection.
