"These late, autumnal chamber works have been shared equally through the years by clarinettists and violists, but in recordings like this, one sides with the violists. One of the best today, Kim Kashkashian gives the music a sense of subtext that reveals the wisdom and sadness of a composer who had a few years before he declared himself burned out. Her performance of the first sonata is excellent; the second one is outstanding, as she and pianist Robert Levin perform with a level of identification and spontaneity that suggest they're making up the music as they go along, living the tragedy along with the composer."
(USA Today)

Kim Kashkashian and Robert Levin, musical allies for twenty years, focus their shared knowledge and skills in imaginative and moving performances of these "late works" by Johannes Brahms. Written in 1894, just three years before the composer's death, these sonatas have often been considered as a link between the musical thought of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
