Music reviews of Brahms: Complete Piano Music [Box Set]Music Review: A Noteworthy Achievement Rating: 5 Stars
Gerhard Oppitz has long been one of my favorite pianists. He has distinguished himself amongst the younger pianists in not rushing as so many of them do, to get notice or whatever it is they seek by playing at a breakneck speed that often, and most usually, ruins the performance. I have never bought into the idea that the faster you can play something makes you a greater virtuoso....nor do I go for all the banging and pounding on the keys that many go in for these days....it's an instrument for making music....banging and pounding are not signs of a virtuoso pianist. (I would love to put a couple names here, but will refrain from so doing.)
That said,
Oppitz here presents these great works for piano by Brahms as they should be....accurately and thoughtfully, introspectively thought out and executed, yet with wonderful "life" to them not necessarily demonstrated in Julius Katchen's traversal of many years ago on Decca, but don't get me wrong, I love that old set dearly.
I have both sets, and truthfully would not give up either one of them; the Katchen for it's austere interpretations, rightly fitting with Brahm's music, and this set by Oppitz for his authoritative playing, and the welcome "freshness" he demonstrates in his more life-like interpretations.
This set is now Out Of Print!
SO, if you are even considering this set......
......My recommendation to you would be to purchase this set sooner rather than later, as many RCA/BMG recordings are now gone completely since Sony's takeover, and there seems to be no guarantee that all these "disappearing" sets will ever reappear again. This set is a steal at the price, and if you love Brahms' piano music, I would urge you to move quickly to obtain a copy for your collection....your ears and heart will long thank you for doing so.
