Remembering the great Maurizio Pollini
Legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini defined modern piano playing through a combination of virtuosity of the highest degree, a complete sense of musical purpose and commitment that works in complete control of the virtuosity. His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more >>

It's funny, I just had this piece in my head before I came here and saw this. Very profound interpretation. It reminds me of something one of my teachers told me once: A good pianist has always time... :)

Hi marik,

It's great to see you back at the Audition Room!  Your interpretation and execution of this less-often-heard intermezzo are marvelous! Your playing is most artistic--very thoughtful, deeply felt, and poetic.  You project the Brahmsian "burnished sound" throughout.  And the pedaling used in shaping phrases and the long line is masterful.  Because Brahms often thought orchestrally when composing for piano, in some ways his music is more profound and difficult to play as compared to other repertoire; but you "put it across" to the listener most effectively.  I say, Bravo!  
Interpreting music means exploring the promise of the potential of possibilities.

I think anything from marik should be automatically nominated to the "exceptional audition room recordings thread."

excellent playing!  It made me want to learn this piece, until I looked at the score.  then I had second thoughts... :/
