Among the annals of the greatest historical registers ever made this set must be included in a top list of the twenty five gem performances of the chamber music genre.
There is not any violinist of today capable to equal the level of expression and total commitment of Joseph Suk. Moreover, can boast of this kaleidoscopic variety of tonal colour, organic phrasing, mercurial tact, and even major ability to express with such deepness of sheer lyricism.
Of course, there must be a strong acknowledgement in which concerns to the musical support of Julius Katchen one of the most extraordinary pianist born in USA, whose musical canvas sounds so expressive natural that it would seem to have been born in Europe. His velvet sound, his accuracy around every single bar and his inimitable pianissimos makes of him the most remarkable American pianist playing Brahms. He captured and knew to deal with the essential core of Brahms, conferring him of grace, charm ,deepness without that nestled humor into the musical structure.
I would like to underline this last aspect because without that Mediterranean touch, Brahms may be unbearable to listen. That’s why there are so many brilliant pianists who conscious or unconsciously increase a pretended austerity in his music, lacking that kind spirit of a man who loved the Hungarian tunes and maintained a sort of formidable equilibrium between expression and charm; vigor and lyricism.
This is a very memorable album of Brahms Violin Sonatas. As a direct descent of Dvorak, Suk sure knows how to play Brahms, who was Dvorak’s mentor. You can feel the polished glory of his sound in every note, and every phrase is played with just the right amount of burning passion and romantic nuance – the d minor sonata especially is a gem you wouldn’t want to miss. The crisp Decca acoustics and the golden rich tone of Suk together create a very special atmosphere. Alongside this recording, I recommend the two Brahms trios Suk played with Janos Starker and Julius Katchen: it’s the definitive romantic interpretation of those monumental works.

Magical, romantic recordings of Brahms trios.
Although the Suk/Katchen duo was eventually superseded by other artists for my first choice of recordings of the Brahms Violin Sonatas, I have not yet found a more satisfying account of the Brahms Piano Trios. I am aware that the Penguin Guide prefers the recording by Trio Fontenay — and they boast a better stereo acoustic — but this warm, originally analog, recording serves to enhance the sense of an intimate encounter with this lovingly-played chamber music. The artists are expertly balanced and they all play with commitment and a unified musical vision.
Julius Katchen, Josef Suk and Janos Starker go for all-out romantic interpretations, and this dense music of stark contrasts arguably makes more sense this way. The sound, like the music, is intimate, warm and detailed. In its closeness it reminds me of Suk’s violin sonatas with Katchen, another treasure that I highly recommend. They don’t make recordings that sound like this anymore.

The artists are expertly balanced and they all play with commitment and a unified musical vision. I particularly enjoy Janos Starker’s contribution to the Op. 8 trio.
These performances of Brahms’ piano trios have quickly become my favorites and leave me with little desire to further explore the trio discography. Julius Katchen, Josef Suk and Janos Starker go for all-out romantic interpretations, and this dense music of stark contrasts arguably makes more sense this way. The sound, like the music, is intimate, warm and detailed. In its closeness it reminds me of Suk’s violin sonatas with Katchen, another treasure that I highly recommend.
