Overview
Brahms referred privately to his Three IntermezziOp. 117 as ‘cradle-songs of my sorrows’. StevenOsborne, RPS Instrumentalist of the Year in 2013,presents Brahms’s lachrymose lullabies as reflectiveinterludes between Beethoven’s last three sonatas.
The Scottish pianist’s revelatory programmeconcludes with the Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor,in which Beethoven pushes forward the limits ofartistic creation.
