The first of his violin sonatas that Brahms didn’t burn

No. 1 Op. 78 in G major

I enjoyed that very much.   I adore this sonata.  And you both really did it justice.  Your playing was understated, but at the same time so pianistic and importante, if you get what I mean,.  Your tone is beautiful, as always, with such a refined sense of the line and phrasing.  Sometimes I felt like your partner was a little too careful in his playing.   He seemed very involved in the beautiful notes that he forgot the direction.  Especially in the first movement with that luscious descending motif.  His sound is really beautiful, don't get me wrong.  But at times I lost the intensity.
Just a little thing in the second movement.  To make those dotted eighth notes less plodding, pedal the 16th note to the following dotted 8th.  When it's the same harmony, of course.
I felt the third movement a bit rushed.  MOlto moderato.  And the final page, especially.
But this was really a top performance from both of you.  Bravi!

Thank you for the kind and expert comments. Yes, one tends to rush toward the end... Not always easy to control the adrenaline.
We also have a recording of the Franck violin sonata, which I hope to be able to post soon.
