Digital Booklet
|
|||||
"Stephen Hough’s profoundly poetic interpretation of Brahms’s piano works is an antidote to the self-indulgent sentimentality that has long dominated accounts of these works: a real palate-cleanser. As appropriate for a renaissance man like Hough, the release is a multi-sensory pleasure. From the cover to Hough’s booklet note to, of course, his sublime musicianship."
- Gramophone
A collection of exquisite Brahmsian miniatures: brief meditations on last things before—in Stephen Hough’s own words—‘the light fades and the final cigar is extinguished’.
