This video of Balint Vazsonyi was a labor of love. His rendition of the Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 21, No. 1 by Johannes Brahms is one of the most genuine and thoughtful interpretations I have ever heard. It truly approaches the realm of being a definitive performance.

I am forever indebted to his wife, Barbara, for having supported me in my efforts. Without her artistic guidance and encouragement, this project would still be on the shelves gathering dust.

Enjoy! You will probably never hear anything like this; these variations are rarely played. (less info)
