Distinct pianism and etched string attack may not be all that these sonatas require. Marwood doesn’t often relax into the music and an insistent manner is at odds with directions like Allegro amabile and Andante tranquillo in the first two movements of No 2. Nevertheless, the impassioned last sonata finds Marwood and Madžar in more relenting mood, willing to modify hitherto guarded responses to conventions of performance that Brahms took for granted. Augustin Dumay with Maria João Pires and Kyung-Wha Chung with Peter Frankl go further. They risk reaching out to a forgotten vernacular tradition; and through their differing personalities redefine its spirit within the consciousness of today’s styles – to form a closer kinship with the music.
