Young pianist, Hardy Rittner performs these very early piano pieces by Brahms. Schumann heard Brahms performing these pieces and the rapturous reception he gave them, made the young composer famous over night. Rittner plays on a Johann Baptist Streicher Piano dated 1851 from the Collection by Gert Hecher, Vienna. So well preserved and cared for is this instrument that it still has many of its original strings! “…it is difficult to imagine this glorious music sounding more persuasive on an authentic instrument….Far from making allowances for the 150-year old mechanism, Rittner rejoices in its unique tonal properties, pushing it
right to the edge in the outer movements of the Sonata, yet producing a magically veiled sound in the second of the Op. 10 Ballades.” International Piano, July/August, 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
