| Piano Sonata No. 3 in F minor, Op. 5; Intermezzo in E flat major, Op. 117 No. 1; Rhapsody in B minor, Op. 79 No. 1; Intermezzo in A major, Op. 118 No. 2; Rhapsody in G minor, Op. 79 No. 2; Intermezzo in E flat minor, Op. 118 No. 6; Rhapsody in E flat major, Op. 119 No. 4 "outstanding disc from Ronan O'Hora, a pianist of inward thoughtfulness and refined eloquence. O'Hora turns his attention to Brahms, concentrating primarily on works of song-like lyricism; given the beauty of O'Hora's sound and the purity of his melodic line, the choice of works is a happy one. ...O'Hora combines the youthful athleticism of the F minor Sonata with a selection of autumnal works ...in his hands the more boisterous outer movements are beautifully sculpted... The magical slow movement has a caressing sensuality, and it is in gentle reflection that O'Hora is most compelling. His Intermezzos are confessional, not over-indulgent, while the two Rhapsodies, Op. 79, have a taut muscularity" Gramophone |
