Notes & Reviews:

"The Eight Piano Pieces, Op. 76, acre capriccios and intermezzos. They are among Brahms's most often performed piano works, and Nissman plays them with contrast and sensitivity. The even more popular Rhapsodies, Op. 79, require strong playing and attention to the give-and-take of proper phrasing. These requirements are amply filled here, as Nissman knows the ins and outs of everything she plays before sharing her views with the public. Her technique is flawless and the darkness, so prevalent with this composer, is given weight without heaviness." Becker, American Record Guide
