Johannes Brahms

French pianist Hélène Grimaud has done what few have dared try-- record both Brahms Piano Concertos No. 1 (performed live with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra), and No. 2 (performed with the Vienna Philharmonic). It’s her personal Everest, after first discovering the romance and drama of  No. 1 as a young girl, and combining it with No. 2, a decidedly different and evolved piece. Grimaud discusses the events of Brahms’ life in conjunction with these two masterpieces.

Liebesträume (German for Dreams of Love) is a set of three solo piano works by Franz Liszt, published in 1850. Liszt called each of the three pieces Liebesträume but, often they are referred to incorrectly in the singular as Liebestraum (especially No. 3, the most famous of the three). Originally the three Liebesträume (Notturni) were conceived as songs after poems by Ludwig Uhland and Ferdinand Freiligrath. In 1850, two versions appeared simultaneously as a set of songs for high voice and piano, and as transcriptions for piano two-hands.

Liebesträume No. 3 is the last of the three that Liszt wrote, and the most popular, and can be considered as split into three sections, each divided by a fast cadenza requiring dexterous finger work and a very high degree of technical ability.

Johannes Brahms--"Herr, lehre doch mich" from German Requiem

Last Cyber Attack (Epic Music)

Written and recorded over 2 days in South East London, ‘Carried’ is a collaborative EP from violinist Fiona Brice, cellist Tony Woollard and composer/producer Jim Perkins. The project began as an antidote to the sometimes laborious academic tradition of composing, scoring, revising, rehearsing, recording, editing and producing music. 

Each piece was created without score or prior preparation, relying on instinct, discussion and collaboration, with a focus on capturing the energy and essence of an idea whilst it is still fresh. 

The result is a suite of 5 emotive, meditative and distinctive pieces combining drones, elements of minimalism and chamber music with textured harmonics and the occasional melodic line. ‘Carried’ honours the spontaneity and spark of a new idea and nurtures it, creating a deeply engaging and cinematic sound.
