The three works included on this album are representative of the final stage in the development of Brahms’s writing for solo piano, in which grand, formal structures gave way to groups of short episodic pieces. The New York Times praised Goode’s performances here as “excellent,” declaring, “this is music that suits the pianist's dark tone and searching intellect.”
