Thank you :) www.patreon.com/cmrr Brahms assembled a set of sixteen Waltzes, Op. 39, in which he exploited all the multiple possibilities of the ternary form. Like those of Schubert, they constitute an astonishing mosaic of feelings and genres: noble, fast, tender, sometimes gypsy waltzes, a slow lullaby in waltz form. This opus closes Brahms' output for more than fifteen years. This is what E. Hanslick, a friend of Brahms and dedicatee of the sixteen waltzes, wrote about them: "Brahms, the serious, taciturn, true junior of Schumann, writing waltzes! And what's more, as Nordic, as Protestant, as unworldly as he is! These are not waltzes to "dance". Some are light, Viennese, others are more robust and Nordic, and some still echo Schubertian Ländler. Brahms evoked his collection thus: "Sixteen innocent little waltzes in Schubertian form." These short pieces have very contrasting atmospheres. The writing is sparing and marked by freshness and spontaneity. There is nothing superfluous or anecdotal in this extremely popular opus by the German composer. The first waltz serves as the opening of the collection. The character here evokes a simple, frank and vigorous joy. The 15th waltz is obviously the most famous. What can be said of this absolutely tender piece, of the caressing sway of this lullaby, which should be played without affectation or excess of sentimentality. Softness, delicacy and modesty are to be preferred. The phrasing is full of serenity and calm. Johannes Brahms PLAYLIST (reference recordings): kzbin.info/www/bejne/gne1gaOGqJVsrrc

Thank you so much for sharing this. Most people don't know about Sebök. Another one of the great masters. I first heard him on the album of Brahms Violin Sonatas with Arthur Grumiaux. Blew me away. The book "Words From a Master" is also wonderful -- filled with his wisdom.

What a strange clangy piano sound - obviously not a modern Steinway. Though in better tune, it sounds more like some of the public bar Joannas that were common in my youth. A pity as Sebok was a very fine pianist and deserved better.
