Although Brahms first attracted attention as a pianist, his output for piano was surprisingly limited. This fine release covering three piano works brings the debut recording of Alexander Kobrin to Quartz. In 2006, Kobrin made his debut with the New York Philharmonic at both the Avery Fisher Hall and for the inaugural concert of the Bethel Woods Arts Centre. He was also invited to open the 06/07 season concerts with both Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
