Seong-Jin Cho – Brahms: 6 Pieces for Piano, Op. 118, VI. Intermezzo in E Flat Minor

The elegiac Six Pieces for Piano Op. 118 are amongst the very last pieces Johannes Brahms wrote for the instrument. Late Brahms focused on concentrated, miniature forms, full of mature introspection and melancholic expression. Brahms dedicated Op. 118 to the love of his life, Clara Schumann. Of these ‘treasures’, as Clara called them, the last Intermezzo in the rare key of E Flat Minor is rich in tragic pathos, beginning and concluding in dark, dreamy meditation, with a lyrical march, full of yearning, like a beam of sunshine between brooding clouds, glowing in between. Korean superstar pianist, Seong-Jin Cho, is one of today’s most poetic performers. In his hands, late Brahms’ achingly beautiful rumination on the end of love and life is freed of sentimentality, transparent in its emotional honesty and humanity.
