Viola Sonatas, op. 120 / 2 Gesange, op. 91
Album by Johannes Brahms & Luca Sanzò & Maurizio Paciariello & Sara Mingardo
Viola Sonatas, Op. 120 and Zwei Gesänge, Op. 91 are compositions by Johannes Brahms, published in 1894 (Op. 120) and 1884 (Op. 91). They exemplify Brahms's late-romantic chamber and vocal style, pairing song-like melodic writing for the viola or voice with rich piano textures and reflecting his late-career turn towards more intimate forms, concentrated contrapuntal writing and harmonic refinement.
First released: 18th November 2016
