The late Brahms
BRAHMS – Viola-Sonatas & Trio

"Brahms’ Sonata in F Minor, Op. 120 was one of the first works Daniel and I played together 22 years ago. We already noted the work’s weighty, intense urgency: with wide interval leaps and abrupt emotional shifts from the onset, it feels like a voyage between continents. The beginning flows like lava; later on, the second theme raises its sweet melody in soft hues, striving toward heaven. Through the years, Daniel and I have explored and played many works by Brahms.

Daniel has gotten to know Brahms’ lieder output particularly well; in my case, I have become quite familiar with the chamber and orchestral music. Each new exploration of a work by Brahms has added something to our insight; our current interpretation of the late sonatas, Op. 120, has profited from that accumulated experience. Thus we have worked through his output from back to front, so to speak.
