COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Beautiful submitted by amym on July 13, 2015, 8:03am Brahms wrote some of the most beautiful piano pieces ever written. Murray Perahia does a masterful job performing these pieces, bringing out all the warmth while nailing all the technical difficulties. This CD moves me immensely.
