Label: Ivory Classics # 72008 | Rel. 2002 | Rec.: May 5-6, 2002 (Tracks 1-5); 21-Sept-2000 (Tracks 6-11); 22-March-1982 (Track 12)

From the notes (Some thoughts on the Sonata): In my 86 years on this planet, I have heard many great pianists play this monumental sonata, but for me Arthur Rubinstein remains quite special. His performances were outstanding because he best understood the strong rhythmical structure of this ingenious musical masterpiece. In Brahms' music generally, and especially in this piece, rhythmic and phrasing inconsistencies tend to weaken the structure.by Earl Wild

Earl Wild, piano

More thoughts on the Sonata by Mr. Wild: "Because Brahms' First Symphony contains many rhythmic similarities to the F minor Sonata (which is an obvious psychological offspring) and because Brahms' thoughts were always orchestral, I have found it helpful to study and play the symphony on the piano. To perform this sonata effectively, it is very important to think orchestrally in regard to proper balance, color and flexibility."

I have always thought this was a great site for posting comparisons. So I have decided to include Arthur Rubinstein's version of the Brahms' Sonata so that you can listen to what Earl Wild refers to in his notes: It will take a while to upload but it will be in this same post. It is Vol. 21 of the AR Collection.

BTW, the Ivory Classics version by Earl Wild contains one of the most comprehensive set of notes that I have ever come across on these particular works. Especially the late Klavierstücke, for which there are in depth interpretative guidelines to be applied to them. One of my favorites in some of these works is Lili Kraus. I have the CD but only have scans for the cover. I would have to ask a friend if she will allow me to post them here.

Addition to this post: Arthur Rubinstein's version of Brahms Op. 5 and other works for solo piano.





Enjoy!

Thank you.

Great "double feature". Definitely my favourite Brahms piano sonata. I have a Rubinstein RCA CD which comes with the 4 Ballades and 2 other works, I'm curious whether it is the same recording of op.5 (1959).

Of course I'm also looking forward to Wild's rendition.

Much appreciated!


P.S. Rubinstein's op.5 is from 1949. A lot faster than the '59 version except for the Intermezzo (doesn't mean better, but surely more energetic) - and in fantastic mono sound quality!

Many thanks, I don't think I've heard Wild in Brahms before.

Thank you very much for this magical double delight. And
more of the AR collection if possible would be greatfully received.

Magnificent. Thanks!

@Prumnopitys: Sorry, don't have the AR collection. Most of the Collection [if not the whole]was posted here by Wursthans if I am not mistaken. Don't know if the links are still alive. But you can ask him for a re-up.

I've never heard a Wild recording I didn't love...and this is at the top of my heap.

Thank you!!
