STUDIO RECORDING 1982 NEVER ON CD

[@ericrouach]

Everything he touches becomes a jewl, unbelievable.

[@AkiK-j9m]

Beautiful..

[@danielceccaldi9676]

Plus j'ecoute Zimerman ,plus je suis convaincu qu'il est le géant du piano qui remplace les Gilels, Richter etc...

[@laurenceperaire418]

Je pense exactement la même chose .

[@humamghassib2685]

Just as inspirational and exquisite as the original piano trio, Op. 18. Clearly, Brahms could and did write some of the most beautiful melodies around. (As for 'abstract'music, je is one of the three greatest composers ever!)

[@sergioscola643]

Adapted from the second movement of the String Sextet No.1, Op.18!

[@Nazjata]

Gorgeous

[@Barbapippo]

WHY on Earth this wonderful recording was never released!

[@sgfnorth]

Zimerman wasn't happy with the quality of the piano sound on the recordings of Brahms he made with DG - none have been released on DG...one hopes he will change his mind one day.

[@laurenceperaire418]

Unfortunatly, I don't thank so.

[@S.Lander]

This is becoming my favorite performance of this amazing piece. Crushingly beautiful.

troppo triste ma bello !!! preferisco in piano...

[@Barbapippo]

Very interesting... is it a transcription by Brahms himself?

[@STUM2257]

Yes it is. Brahms transcribed this movement for Clara Schumann, who really adored it.

털보르만 수염 어디갔어. 연주는 환상이네

[@currawong2011]

Zimmerman exemplifies his extraordinary and perhaps unique delicacy of touch in this performance...his ability to nuance almost defies belief. Magnificent. I much prefer this piano version (Brahms own) from the String Sextet Op.18, to the original.

[@pianotreasures]

It is a transcription by Brahms himself.

[@giuseppebarbisotti8486]

Pure ecstasy, Brahms in paradise !

[@steveegallo3384]

True, beautiful....but almost Strains the Intellect....like those late Beethoven sonatas...

[@jhyounyo]

Thank you for uploading this beautiful recording. :-)

[@thierry.g5279]

On frise le sublime aussi bien dans l'interprétation que dans la partition. Merci Clara !

[@saskiameesters8336]

It sounds far better (and clearer) to me than when for string sextet.
