As some of you may know, I like classical music. But I was never much of a fan of Brahms. That's slowly changing. I've been listening to Sviatoslav Richter's live performance from 1951 of the Brahms Piano Concerto No.2 with Evgeny Mravinsky conducting the Leningrad Symphony. Very uplifting. There are some wrong notes here and there. But that doesn't take away from the power of the performance at all.
Many years ago, I had an LP with some Brahms solo piano works. There was one piece in particular that I found beautiful - Intermezzo No. 1 Op.117. The pianist was Wilhelm Kempff. I started listening to this recording again. Very nice.
