With his characteristic elegance, Fabrizio Chiovetta delivers a sensitive interpretation of Brahms’s late works from 1892, among his final pieces for piano.
In 1892, Brahms returned to the piano to deliver his final works for the instrument: four collections of music written in a sparse, almost ascetic style, before the Vier Gesänge that would close his oeuvre. “Playing a late Brahms intermezzo is like walking in the snow: every trace remains.” Fabrizio Chiovetta approaches these songs of farewell with his characteristic elegance and directness.
