By contrast, the Op 4 scherzo is the work of an eighteen-year-old, and the earliest he approved for publication. "Ohlsson leaves the best till last. The Op. 4 Scherzo, written when Brahms was just 18, has a driving excitement, a febrile quality that is thrilling. And, with his easy brand of virtuosity, he sounds right at home here…Ohlsson is very naturally recorded too."- Gramophone "To hear them unfolded as beautifully as they are here is invigorating, insightful and a joy."- The Sunday Times Fish Fine Music is a proud sponsor of CD of the Week |
