Brahms: Waltzes, Op. 39 & Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel, Op. 24

The final album in our retrospective series dedicated to Bruno-Leonardo Gelber is this recording, which features two superb cycles from Brahms’s early mature period: the sixteen waltzes (Op. 39) in their arrangement for solo piano, and the variations after an aria from Handel’s keyboard suites. Another captivating demonstration of Gelber’s mastery.
