BRAHMS: Trio No. 1 in B major, Op. 8 - ChamberFest Cleveland (2018)

[@melissat9120]

That cellist plays so naturally and beautifully. It's neither contrived nor showy. A true gift.

[@katydid2k]

Exquisite!! Thank you! Such excellence from all three individually and together (seamlessly, as if they were one). I will return to this whenever I need to be reminded that t h i s is possible.

so great. I love that young people are playing this piece. the cellist

[@nyc88s]

Opening cello solo is some of the most beautiful playing I have ever heard!

[@twinwankel]

One of the most moving pieces in the history of music. Brahms was always uncertain whether to revise a youthful piece or not. Boy am I glad he did. Even though the original is a great piece at any age, it definitely has more youthful vigor. However, I just love the craftsmanship he brought to the piece. As a fan of the genre, it is my favorite piano trio and the Ravel trio is second. And even though I have heard various performances of the work by many artists, I have not heard one that I dislike because the music just seems to transcend the musicianship. It is a complete trio with great movements in all but I just love the opening. It starts off with such an elegant theme but soon transforms into passion that only Brahms can compose. To think it was composed by such a young man is astonishing. A great performance by this group. Brahms would have been proud. Thank you for the upload.

Absolutely could not agree more. And a great performance from these young lads!

[@hervedupre7894]

Not a fan of Brahms, but when he's really himself like in this opus, or for example op 116 117, he surpasses the greater composers. Such pieces are literally burning from inside. Touching heaven. Exceptional, surnatural, 🙃🙂. I like the playing of the cellist. Wonderful, the level of Beethoven chamber music, with more sensitivity and delicacy 🎉

the first cello entry is so beautiful, it seems to grow out of the piano's entry completely organically.

[@idrisbalavakos]

I felt this through my screen. This is an example of mastering a piece to the point which emotion is evoked in every noted, every harmony.

희망과 환희에 찬, 그렇지만 밝기만한 환희가 아니라 땅에 발을 딛고 삶의 한계 속에서도 느끼는 환희를 표현한 곡 같다.

[@squinkque]

Very beautiful, I listened to this as I read a long article on the internet. I'm not sure I listened to this ever before and am so glad I have now. Amazing of how the emotions of the composer from a 150 years ago can be conveyed through these musicians today.

[@misssarahashplant31]

And in another 150 years from now. Music of this calibre is timeless.

The first time I heard trhis work was many years ago at the Wigmore Hall. A group of young musicians very similar in age to these. They played with such brio that it blew my mind.

Tremendous Chemistry !!! I Love The Tempo !! The First Movement Sounds Soooo Symphonic !!! If Fully Orchestrated, It would have been a Great Opening Movement For His 5th Symphony maybe ....?

[@twinwankel]

Brahms worked on a 5th symphony but destroyed all sketches before death. What a pity. Also, nearly everything Brahms composed sounds symphonic to me.

[@dennispearson9287]

@@twinwankel Ahhhh........So Typical of Brahms !!! Musicologist Have Estimated That Brahms ( His Own Worst Critic, ) May Have Destroyed As Much As a Third of All of His Compositions !!! We Can Only Imagine The Masterpieces That Didn't Make "The Cut " In Brahms Mind Which Ended Up In Some Trash Basket, That Other Much Lesser Composer's Would Have Died to Have WRITTEN !!!

That violinist is totally a soloist

[@frugallentigo6768]

That wouldn't be taken as a compliment by an ensemble player. It would imply domination and showing off.

[@eleanorjones26407]

@@frugallentigo6768 I'm not convinced that that's true. Granted I'm used to more amateur Orchestra players than people who actually go to school for it... but I feel that a lot of people take compliments when they come. Plus Alexi Kenney (the violinist) is actually a soloist now. Regardless of how he might feel about it, he's just about floating out of his chair during the whole performance. This is not to say that Oliver Herbert and Roman Rabinovich aren't playing amazingly but only that I noticed something particular about Kenney. Also, musicians tend to get a bit playfully competitive, but of course that's just my own expierence and not yours.

[@katejohnson9737]

Did they run out of chairs for Alexi?

[@frugallentigo6768]

In a trio he's not going to get much opportunity to relax into the backrest so would opt for the freedom a stool affords a string player.

la magie brahmsienne atteint son paroxysme dans la musique de chambre , il en jaillit une musique intimiste , comme une féerie mêlée de nostalgie , l accession vers un monde inconnu , un amour nouveau tout plein des délices sensuels que nous concoctait le maestro de hambourg ou il découvrit les méandres de la natures en jouant enfant dans des cabarets fumeux ou s enivraient matelots amers , exorcisant leurs angoisses avec les nombreuses filles de joie dont brahms découvrait la chaleur des circonvolutions charnelles , des femmes de tous horizons que n auraient pas renié lautrec , modigliani , manet , egon schiele , kirchner , domergue et bien d autres ,,

No I'll stay in my lovely home where it is quiet and sweet and listen to a studio recording in a comfortable chair or sofa until the music is finished and slowly melts back into the silence.
