Beethoven, L. Van

:

Billette’s piano tone, which emerges with a definite presence from the slightly old-fashioned sound, seems to sprinkle this work by Brahms (1833-1897) with a very distinctive spice. The evening’s performance of Schumann’s Quintet and the Brahms was highly acclaimed in the British press at the time. Again, the rich sound of the London String Quartet and Billette’s assertive piano were mentioned, and we can again recognize that her playing has always been consistent since she was young. Other performances by her and the London String Quartet include Mahler and Franck (8.571278), which is also breathtaking and heated music.Naxos Japan
