Brahms - 3 Intermezzi op. 117

Maria João Pires - piano

[@michaels7889]

So beautiful and moving. MJP shapes the music in such a way that you believe she is a person you would love to have as a friend.

[@stacelandicus8679]

One of the most underrated pianists of the age. A true genius.

[@jacopastorius319]

She is a much better pianist than argerich.

[@willemboone7912]

@@jacopastorius319 You can hardly compare them since they both play a very different repertoire!

[@stacelandicus8679]

@@jacopastorius319 I wouldn't go that far-. It's like saying steak is superior to sorbet. Also, Argerich's Chopin Preludes are superior imo.

[@daveholt1325]

Argerich is from another planet I would certainly not substitute one for the other we need both of these pianists in our lives!

Je l'aime tellement !! Dans Schubert, Schumann, Chopin, Mozart... Je l'entends pour la première fois dans Brahms. Elle est merveilleuse, juste merveilleuse.

[@commontater8630]

I've listened to several renditions of Op.117 this morning and I believe I've struck gold with this one.

[@daveholt1325]

Make sure you listen to Arcadi Volodos playing this he reduces me to tears!

[@commontater8630]

@@daveholt1325 Thanks. Volodos has a way of dwelling on phrases that I find quite enjoyable. However for sheer rhythmic mastery of the fundamental through line, I have yet to hear the equal of MJ Pires in these intermezzi.

[@cramyvel]

This is very nice. Also listen to Radu Lupu. He captures a fragility that is very moving.

[@MrInterestingthings]

So glad to know she plays late 19th century music . I haven't heard Brahms or Liszt or Schumann ever from this great poet .I must find this album . She plays the Brahms trios and withher former husband the Brahms Sonatas !

[@AndreJorgeOliveira1]

You will not find any Liszt by her. She already said her small hands are not fit for Liszt's repertoire. Unfortunately.

I cannot locate a fault in the playing, either on musical grounds or in terms of sound and emotion. Nevertheless, I am not moved by this playing. Perhaps she plays a bit too slowly

[@adriancook7078]

Too heavy, too pianoy in my opinion. It is all heavy mechanism......no music.........no soul. NOthing sings. It is just a good old heavy grand piano. No magic I am afraid. Listen to the rubinstein 1941 recording. NOw there the piano and the sad soul of Brahms sings out and from an 80 year old recording. It is all about soul not ivory keys, guys.

[@photo161]

Sorry to get personal, but it simply is the case that you have no idea what you are talking about. If your observations had any bases in fact, you could be taken seriously, but, for example, you complain that her playing is "...heavy" when on listening to only the first bars of Ms. Pires' Op.117 No. 1, one is struck but the extreme delicacy of her playing...
