Two Songs for Alt, Viola and Piano, op. 91 (Brahms)

[@michaels7889]

Star studded and ravishing. I wish I had Amihai's viola!

[@marinacaracciolo5940]

Semplicemente meravigliosi i due Gesänge (e come potrebbero non esserlo?...), eccellenti tutti e tre gli interpreti. ❤🎉

[@paulleech2283]

These two lied have been 'haunting' me for months now - the piano part (Brahms himself) in Simon's hands , is so caring and recessive, and lacking in ego projection, but subtly supportive of the principal two 'voices' - and WHAT voices from these two ?- 'masterly', all around, in the truest sense ....................

[@tanujkaria6348]

I love the subtlety, really shows mastery of the pianist

[@TedKitzis]

I'm so glad that lots of great altos choose to record Op 91 THX.

How well Brahms judged the possibilities of this combination of forces. How well these artists have realized those possibilities. Deepest thanks.

the best violist

The second song starts at 7:40 for anyone specifically looking for that one!

[@susandrakenviller3683]

Very good and clear performance of a piece, in particular the first Lied, that often sounds messy to me. Not here! Maybe because a conductor is playing the piano. The viola sounds superb and truly a second voice to the vocals. Thank you!

[@Barbapippo]

Wondeful music, thanks.

[@gabrieleschulze7627]

Schön! Danke! Beautiful intimate setting.

[@jeffwoodruff1339]

Wow. Thanks for the beautiful performance. Exceptional work all around, and a singer who is part of the ensemble to boot.

[@rainbowcrystaluk]

Thank you so much for sharing this. This is very similar to how I would like to interpret the work, so I am thankful that more esteemed singers have indeed tried so.

[@jraldne1]

Music begins @1:21

How do u make such a soft sound while still maintaining the clarity. And without shaky bow? Amazing performance btw!

[@rainbowcrystaluk]

Connection. And think like tai chi: a calm, meditative movement in every stroke. Steady breathing to help your central nervous system.

[@direfranchement]

I first heard this sung by Marian Anderson. The music has haunted me ever since.

[@federicozimerman8167]

as if the viola itself is saying: I am happy making these sounds.

[@steinwey]

Why change the before-last g into an f#, in bar 7 of the viola part? It is g in the first edition, and it makes masterful sense in the harmonic context of the next bar. F# is only superficially correct from a textbook theory perspective.
