“Nicholas Angelich was born to play Brahms,” was the Daily Telegraph’s judgement on the American-born, French trained pianist, hose artistry is at the heart of this collection of concertos, chamber music and solo pieces. His collaboration with Renaud and Gautier Capuçon was praised by Gramophone as “sure to kindle anyone’s enthusiasm for Brahms …The way they are able to strike a balance between Brahms’s energetic flow of ideas, his strongly delineated structures and his lyrical intensity is most satisfying.”
