About This Recording
Johannes Brahms composed his 16 Waltzes, Op. 39 in 1865, originally for piano four-hands before arranging them for solo piano. No. 15 in A-flat Major quickly became the most beloved of the set — a miniature gem of tender lyricism that has endured as one of the defining pieces of Romantic piano music. Its gently flowing melody, lilting triple metre and warm harmonic palette have made it a staple of wedding ceremonies, film soundtracks and elegant media productions for over 150 years. This Artyfile recording delivers a faithful, expressive performance mastered to broadcast standard at 44.1 kHz WAV quality, ready for professional film, television and digital media production.
