About
Along with Joseph Joachim, Piatti was one of Clara Schumann’s preferred chamber music partners and thus in Johannes Brahms’s closest circle.
The composer must have been very satisfied with Piatti’s version, since the cello adds several dimensions of the most sensitive expression to the score, which was originally written for piano four hands – only a string instrument can lament as painfully as the sixths in No.11. Schiefen and Kreul joyfully celebrate the emotionally charged music, without ever slipping into cliché.
Piatti’s arrangement is much more than just virtuoso stuff: in close relation to the four-handed model, a genuine piece of chamber music is created, heard here in MDG’s pioneering surround sound SACD.
