Music reviews of Brahms: 10 Intermezzi for Piano; 4 Ballades
Music Review: Definitive, Exquisite, Without Peer
Rating: 5 Stars
A pianist who made his mark with spare and precise recordings of Bach, Gould here shows a romantic and passionate side that may surprise many listeners unfamiliar with this regrettably small portion of his discography. Gould himself thought these recordings among his best, and I wouldn't quarrel. Over the years, I've listened to just about every recording of the Intermezzi ever made, and while Gould's has its drawbacks (notably his notorious humming and the now less-than-stellar sound quality) they're still my favorites by a league. The E-flat Intermezzo Op 117, No. 1 and the A-Major, Op. 118, No. 2 are among my favorite recordings of any composer by any artist. Absolute perfection that I can listen to on eternal repeat without tiring. If only Gould had returned to the Intermezzi to take advantage of digital recording technology! The recording of the Ballades, on the other hand, is not only a fine interpretation but also sonically good. The 4th is especially moving.
