It is great to hear Pinchas Zukerman in this context. He is wonderful to listen to. Marc Neikrug is a perfect collaborator. There is not much out about Brahms compared to other composers. Brahms always has a room in my heart!
This is a great film. Thanks for posting. It’s a shame that whoever the sound engineer was botched it so badly. The violin sounds like it’s in another room!
Thank you but I meant the background music at the very beginning. I am a violin player myself and know all Brahms sonatas very well. The very first music did not sound like any of Brahms sonatas.
beautiful playing, tops…. but of the ecstasy of love …swan song it maybe … ? “ forever young”. …? Knowing the story, should we not honour Brahms with more tender feelings than the modern fashionable seriousness that his complicated personality also deserves?! I hope he is not turning and looking in his grave for someone who could play it with some sense of “Maria” sung in West Side Story ?
Do you all find that one reveres Brahms more and more as one gets older? I am discovering texture to his work now like never before.
My goodness how wonderful is this part 2 also. Thank you so very much @AllegroFilms. (Holland dec. 2022 )

Johannes Brahms was a good man! Beautiful.
Excellent documentary!, thank you!
Thank you for posting this sublime music and commentary.
labor of love...muses all around him...around us
Grazie M° Zukerman!

that's just the way it was back in "checks discription" 1983
grandissimo... immenso..
HERMOSO
I so struggle with these German place names. I don't know Germany's lakes like I should.
thanks :)
Why call it a documentary if it's mostly a concert performance?
estaria genial con subtitulos en español
What is the piece at the beginning?
The pieces that are played are the Sonata No.2, Op. 100 and the Sonata N.3, Op. 108.
Take a look at the description for the timecodes.
Thank you but I meant the background music at the very beginning. I am a violin player myself and know all Brahms sonatas very well. The very first music did not sound like any of Brahms sonatas.
The piece at the very beginning is then the Opus 97 No. 5, "Komm bald - My love is as green as the lilac bush"
