At this late stage, Backhaus may not have the fiery intensity or virtuosity, but these heart-felt, memorable performances of the short pieces by Brahms, especially the great intermezzi, are among the best ever! His phrasing should be studied by any inspiring pianist. Very rare, never issued with ffrr label!

Record condition: NM/EX+ (some slight rubbing marks toward the end, plays very well w/ odd light statics)

Cover condition: EX (ring wear, tiny hole drill, also through the record label), blue back

Stampers: 10E/2E ffss UK Decca pressing

Note: I'm a collector, not a dealer. The reason I'm selling is to downsize my collection. Every record I offer was hand-picked based on its merits on music, performance, and sonics (not necessarily in that order!). I will list recording credentials such as producer, engineer, venue, date, etc. as I believe as an educated buyer, these will offer crucial info for an unfamiliar record to make a buying judgement. Hope you'll find this useful!
