I’ve been pointed to this recording a couple of days ago by a friend and it opened up a new space for me - while being a big friend of romantic symphonies, the chamber music of this era has never really spoken to me. But I was instantly and profoundly caught by this recording. When I heard it for the first time, I thought this was three dimensional music. In my own words I thought of never having heard such glissandi into the right pitch of the note that opened up space just as did the delaying of notes, as good comping in jazz does. And now I hear you talk about Portamento and rubato. This makes perfectly sense. I find this approach a most profound and thrilling innovation that makes the music breathing . It’s for the first time I discover the revolutionary harmonic progressions Brahms composed, which I knew well in his symphonic work, but which I didn’t hear in the chamber music as the latter appeared so linearly played. The interplay of violin and piano here is stellar, the way you’re passing the notes from violin to piano and back again is made even 3-dimensionally perceivable by the careful recording technique, which lets the tones of the violin float in space from left to centre and the piano from the center to the right side. It’s great to hear a deep violin tone far left and the the portamento slide into the center of space where it goes from the deeper piano tones the scale up to the right side. And the there is this delicate aspirating soft violin sound…. Thank you for such an elating masterpiece.

I had the best imaginable teacher who taught me to listen carefully and think about what I hear - American jazz pianist and composer Lyle Mays. Sadly he passed away two years ago. Hearing your very offering would have made also HIS day! It would have been honey to the bear, as he used to say :)
