"These memorable performances of two monumental Romantic works by the young Johannes Brahms were given by the elderly – but young at heart – pianist Claudio Arrau in a concert in Santiago. This event, which marked his triumphant and emotional return to his native Chile in 1984 after an absence of seventeen years, was hailed as ‘miraculous’. The recording of this supercharged occasion is supplemented here with fascinating material that explores the background to Brahms’s remarkable Piano Sonata No. 3 and Piano Concerto No. 1. It is a unique testament to Arrau’s romantically intimate association with these two most enigmatically personal statements of Brahms. Recorded live at the Teatro Municipal, Santiago, Chile, May 1984. Produced and Directed by Peter Rosen."

Claudio Arrau León (1903 – 1991) / Arrau was a man of remarkable fortitude; even towards the end of his life he invariably programmed very large, demanding concerts, including works such as Beethoven's Emperor Concerto and Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1.

L’infinito

Sempre caro mi fu quest’ermo colle,
e questa siepe, che da tanta parte
dell’ultimo orizzonte il guardo esclude.
Ma sedendo e mirando, interminati
spazi di là da quella, e sovrumani
silenzi, e profondissima quiete
io nel pensier mi fingo, ove per poco
il cor non si spaura. E come il vento
odo stormir tra queste piante, io quello
infinito silenzio a questa voce
vo comparando: e mi sovvien l’eterno,
e le morte stagioni, e la presente
e viva, e il suon di lei. Così tra questa
immensità s’annega il pensier mio:
e il naufragar m’è dolce in questo mare.

Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837)
