Title: Brahms - Albumblatt
Post by: britishcomposer on Wednesday 24 September 2014, 22:09
Today Christopher Hogwood died. I looked at wikipedia for more information and found that he was somehow involved - or maybe he had involved himself - in the discovery of a previously unknown early piano piece by Johannes Brahms. Some of you may have heard about this before. Anyway, here is a link to the piece, pdf-download and performance:

I'm sorry to hear about Hogwood's death. I particularly value his Gade recordings on Chandos.
