The Brahms Age - Rediscovering the Violin Sonatas

[@alanasher7095]

I just listened to the new Brahms album. Excellent musicianship and wonderful rapport with pianist. A welcome addition to the corpus of recordings of the Brahms sonatas.

Thanks so much!

Wow!!! What a difference in the sound. That portamento to the F sharp at 4:25 - I have never heard any other violinist do that - it took me completely by surprise. What you have done is original and impressive. Who said, "...we've seen it all." ? (No, we haven't) I'm sure I'll hear quite a few more subtleties in phrasing and new approaches in fingering when I listen to the entire album. Your use of the bow is also different. Thank you for keeping music interesting and alive and relevant. !!!

[@jgunther3398]

it's a very nice effect that causes you to hear the harmony completely differently

[@DanielKurganov]

Very glad you like it! I feel like the drastically different piano and gut strings caused me to play differently on many fronts. So glad you like it! The F# is something I stole from my teacher Rudolf Koelman :)

YES, I got my digital download today. So exciting ❣️

[@DanielKurganov]

Thank you!! Just avoid Spotify...terrible sound quality :)

[@aMaudPowellFan]

@@DanielKurganov I know, they mangle it badly. I have an MP3 download which is much better. The CD should arrive soon. I could not get it from a German distributor, so it is coming from the UK.

This is such a wonderful project!! Big congratulations on the recording to you & Костя ! Thank you for the history lesson too - what a journey to get closer to the soul of Brahms! Especially amazed with the tone color possibilities.

[@DanielKurganov]

Thanks so much, Inna! The museum/collection of pianos is open to all, if you're ever in the central MA! They can talk for hours about all of the fascinating history and anecdotes from those times.

@@DanielKurganov sounds amazing! Would definitely love to come visit!

[@azenorcolin5544]

J'ai pas compris grand chose mais j'aime l'authenticité qu'on ressent dans les notes!!

I started listenning on the third sonata. Magnificent rendition, great tone, superb technical skills. Best version with the Dumay/Pires dgg record maybe?

[@DanielKurganov]

Thanks so much! I absolutely adore the Pires/Dumay recordings. Sometimes I can achieve his level of sound quality, but only sometimes :) #lifegoals

Wonderful project, now I have something new to listen to on the road! Congratulations

Purchased the new album this morning and just finished listening to it. Bravo, Daniel and Constantine! And again, excellent recording engineering!

[@DanielKurganov]

Thanks so much! Christopher Greenleaf is an uncompromising engineer...great working with him.

Very good album! One question of another topic, how many hours do you study per day both when you started and at this moment? Thanks!
