Album insights
Rudolf Buchbinder's new album features all of Brahms' songs arranged for solo piano by Max Reger (1873-1916), a devoted admirer of Brahms who dedicated his first symphony to the composer. Buchbinder expresses deep appreciation for the lyrical fusion in musical form, calling it deeply moving. Prior to the album release, Buchbinder previews the Brahms song "In Waldeseinsamkeit," based on Karl Lemcke's poem capturing a serene natural setting. Reger's piano adaptation mirrors the delicate, romantic ambiance of the piece.
