Awards and reviews
September 2005
The last two works of the triptych… are virtuoso pieces par excellence, and the opening Allegro of No. 3 is actually more akin to a concerto movement. Brautigam plays it in appropriately orchestral style, giving full weight to its full-blooded textures and capturing all the music's energy and excitement. His account of the work's slow movement - the expressive high-point of the set as a whole - is deeply felt, using the full range of colours available on the copy of the early 19th-century piano by Anton Walter.
