Description - Brahms: A Listener's Guide by John Bell Young

This survey includes a full-length CD from Music & Arts and Gallo Records with rare private recordings!In this survey of Brahm's music, John Bell Young explores in-depth the composer's private world of musical intimacies that infuriated Wagner, but inspired Schumann, Schoenberg, and millions of music lovers for generations to come. Also addressed is a controversial issue long-neglected by biographers and critics: Did Brahms sire an illegitimate child, and in the absence of concrete evidence, did he leave behind clues in his allusion-rich music? Accompanying the book is a CD featuring rare performances of Wilhelm Furtwangler, alongside brand new recordings of three extraordinary pianists.
