Music hath charms …

Every time I listen to this piece, I want it as loud as possible and it always makes me cry. Persevere with the video and you will see Brendel’s hands eventually. Notice how upright he sits at the piano. There was an excellent programme recently on BBC 4 about Daniel Barenboim and he noted that this was how Horowitz played. Imagine, very old Horowitz handing over the baton (ha ha) to very young Barenboim.

It is a lovely piece isn't it. You can see the passion for the music on his face as he plays.

I love it so much it's almost too much for me. I find this with a lot of classical music.
