Symphonies Overtures / Variations Piano Concertosay (CD)

"Tak po prostu wykonywać muzykę Brahmsa jeszcze raz to dla mnie za mało", powiedział Nikolaus Harnoncourt o tych nagraniach, dokonanych w latach 90. XX w. z Berliner Philharmoniker, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra i pianistą Rudolfem Buchbinderem. Jego badania, które obejmowały szczegółową analizę własnych partytur Brahmsa i tradycji ich wykonywania doprowadziły dyrygenta do wyciągnięcia fascynujących, pozornie sprzecznych wniosków: "Zaprzeczam, że Brahms był romantykiem, a jednocześnie uważam go, jako największego romantyka” – mówił Harnoncourt.

Nicolaus Harnoncourt zmarł 5 marca 2016 r. Na zawsze pozostanie w umysłach i sercach melomanów.
