Oleg Marshev - Johannes Brahms: Piano Sonatas 2 & 3; Scherzo performed by Oleg Marshev

A trio of thunderous roars from a young keyboard lion: Johannes Brahms was still in his teens when he composed this standalone Scherzo and pair of sonatas. With these pieces, he won Schumann�s lifelong friendship and support. Two of the sonata movements are inspired by songs of love and loneliness, but every bar here is vintage Brahms, even as the product of his youth. �Marshev is a phenomenon� - BBC Music
