Have a couple of good Brahms bios.
“Brahms” by Malcom MacDonald & “Johannes Brahms a Bio.” by Jan Swafford

These are awesome recordings. Nice choice!

I think my favorite Brahms, and included on my "I would pay someone to be included in a performance of this piece" list, is his German Requiem.

Thank you for the ping. Any fans of Mitsuko Uchida out there?/Just Asking - seoul62.........

Until 1873 Brahms had written chiefly for the piano, the instrument he knew best, and for chorus and orchestra

Not really correct. The majority of his pre 1873 work was chamber music and songs.

[HoosierHawk]

Which one do you think was the best? I’d like to read a bio.

I saw her play a couple of Mozart concertii with the CSO. She conducted from the piano. I don’t care for her Beethoven.

[HoosierHawk]

Thanks. Glad you enjoy.

Brahms:

Alto Rhapsody

[SoCalPol]

Hard to say as they were both good in their different ways

[HoosierHawk]

I’ll check them on Amazon. Thanks.

Ah, another one passing away too early....64. I sure he had many more years of great music in his head and heart that passed with him.

But, I suppose the life expectancy of men in the 1800's was nothing like it is today, alas.

Thanks for your tribute to our military in this post, Hoosier. Very nice.

Brahms died of liver cancer, the same thing that killed his father. It was incurable then; it's incurable now.

The last thing Brahms had on the boards at the time of his death was a ragtime piano project.
