Capriccios & Intermezzos – Nada and Brahms (2 CD Sets)

Description

Released by MEII Enterprises on October 26, 2018, “Capriccios & Intermezzos: Nada & Brahms,” is a 25-track double album, the fourth in a series of albums featuring award-winning Pianist Nada’s recordings of Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) works for solo piano. “I chose to call this recording ‘Capriccios & Intermezzos’ to display the wonderful variety and array of colors and moods in his music: passion/reflection, power/sweetness, brilliance/intimacy, craziness/centeredness, organization/wilderness,” says Pianist Nada.

“Two chorales Op. 122 originally for organ, begin this fascinating journey through Brahms’ music… This is her fourth foray into Brahms, and her most successful… The Schumann Variations are excellent, with sterling fingerwork and a reluctance to over-pedal. The etude after Chopin Op. 25/2 written when Brahms was just 19, is beautiful and evinces more perfectly judged pedal…”
