Daniel Heide, Andreas Willwohl & Isang Enders - Brahms: Viola Sonata, Op. 120, Piano Trio, Op. 114

Andreas Willwohl (viola), Daniel Heide (piano) and Daniel Heide (cello) perform Viola Sonatas and the Trio Op.114 by Johannes Brahms.

Andreas Willwoh: Brahms' Sonata in F Minor, Op. 120 was one of the first works Daniel and I played together 22 years ago. We already noted the work's weighty, intense urgency: with wide interval leaps and abrupt emotional shifts from the onset, it feels like a voyage between continents. The beginning flows like lava; later on, the second theme raises its sweet melody in soft hues, striving toward heaven. Through the years, Daniel and I have explored and played many works by Brahms.
