Nelson Freire: Brahms

"[Nelson Freire] clearly stands among the greatest pianists of our time or any other" The New York Times.

Nelson Freire made his recording debut with the Brahms F minor sonata in 1967. Now, half a century later, he returns to this monumental work.

The perfect repertoire at the perfect moment in his career: still in his prime at 72, Nelson Freire invests Brahms' music with unrivalled colour and imagination.

This recital presents a portrait of Brahms across his entire oeuvre for solo piano, culminating in a selection of the celebrated late intermezzi.

This is Freire's first Brahms recording since the 2007 Gramophone Record of the Year concerto set with Riccardo Chailly: still the reference recording.
