[@НадеждаБогданова-р7э]

Андраш Шифф -замечательный пианист! И я получила удовольствие,слушая музыку И.Брамса. Благодарю, вас!

Such a marvellous interpretation of the 2nd intermezzo!　(1:59)

[@jatriggs]

I've always wanted to hear Schiff do these (having had my appetite whetted by his wonderful Handel Variations) but could never find a recording. Do you know of one? :-)

[@MyPianoRarities]

Sorry I have no information about. Best regards

[@jatriggs]

Oh well. I won't give up looking. In the meantime, we have your youtube;-)

[@dennisfowler6916]

There's this very famous movement of one of the Brahms fantasies for piano. It's a mysterious , ethereal, damper-pedal laden, minor key, D minor I think, four- note repeating treble phrase, followed by a rubato six-note continuation, with a wave of another six notes in the base accompaniment. Somebody out there has to know which Brahms piano piece I'm talking about.

[@arnausubiracanaleta3162]

I think you are talking about op 116 no 2

[@daveo2431]

Sorry this is soooo late, but you may be thinking about op. 116 no. 7?? Besides that I don't know any other Fantasy Piece that has that. Have you found the piece you're looking for?

@Dennis Fowler -- are you still here? -- could it be this? some features fit your description, others not :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/apmUcmt8p8qHoKc

Nicely played but Not really his cup of tea.

[@fumikokawaguchi943]

Schiff is such a great Pianist, but this could be better interpreted by others.

[@3047L-f6m]

terrible. as almost every modern performer, e.g. Pollini, Perahia and others, Schiff is doing nothing more than reproducing the score without making the music come alive. the result is stiff, bland and academic. a modern museum. is this really everything classical music is about? I just listened to Ilona Eibenschuetz (1903) playing the ballade -- THIS is music. I'm convinced the modern musicians are on the wrong way. Brahms would turn in his grave.

[@MARTIN201199]

Interesting comment. I can’t agree cause I’m biased by always listening to pianinsts you call “moderns”, so I’d like to compare them with some of the ones you regard as adequate for Brahms. Any suggestion, please?

@@MARTIN201199 Start with Kappelll in the D minor concerto; Schnabel and Solomon Op. 117 №s 1 & 2 respectively; Ernst Levy's Handel Variations. Moderns can be great if they get past the referential third-person "museum" playing and soundtrack effects, though any truly remarkable, captured flash of inspiration is rare.
