Review by Nikita

Alright, let’s get into this wild ride of an album—Beethoven Brahms by Glenn Gould and Leonard Bernstein. Released in '86 under the Italian label Melodram, this thing is like a time capsule of genius-level chaos wrapped up in Baroque vibes. You got legends like Gould on piano, Bernstein conducting with his usual flair, and heavy hitters like Oscar Shumsky on violin and Leonard Rose killing it on cello. This isn’t some polished, cookie-cutter classical record—it’s raw, bold, and kinda messy in all the right ways. First track I can’t stop thinking about? Sonata In La Maggiore Per Pianoforte E Violoncello Op. 69. Holy crap, Leonard Rose just tears into that cello part like he’s got something to prove. The interplay between him and Gould feels almost violent at times—you know, not literal violence, but more like they’re wrestling musically for control. And damn, does it work. There are moments where the tension builds so thick you could cut it with a knife, then BAM! It explodes into these soaring passages that make your chest vibrate. It sticks with you because it doesn’t feel safe or predictable; it feels alive. Then there’s Pianoconcerto No 1, which is basically Glenn Gould reminding everyone why he’s freakin’ untouchable. Dude doesn’t just play the piano—he attacks it, like he’s trying to rip its soul out. Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic backing him up? Insane combo. They don’t always sync perfectly (and honestly, who cares?), but when they lock in together, it’s electrifying. Like, one second you’re zoning out, and the next you’re sitting bolt upright because the music hits you like a freight train. That balance between chaos and precision? That’s what makes it unforgettable. Look, I’ll admit this album ain’t for everyone. If you want sterile perfection, go stream some MIDI file or whatever. But if you wanna hear musicians throwing everything they’ve got at these pieces, flaws and all, this is your jam. It’s messy, it’s aggressive, and it’s real as hell. Here’s the kicker though—listening to this made me realize how rare it is to hear artists take risks anymore. These guys weren’t worried about being “liked” or fitting neatly into expectations. They just went for it, full throttle, no apologies. Makes me wonder: do we even deserve music like this anymore? Probably not.
