No new release from Garrick Ohlsson should ever be missed, and here he contributes a very special recital of Late Piano Works by Brahms, a composer with whom he has a close and lifelong association; three sets of miniatures from the deep twilight of Brahms's compositional life, an energetic early scherzo written some forty years previously providing the contrasting encore. Luís Toscano specializes in the music of his native Portugal, and here he directs his vocal ensemble Cupertinos in Cardoso Requiem, Lamentations, Magnificat & motets. This is an outstanding recording of a composer from the golden age of Portuguese polyphony, steeped in the fervent Catholicism of his time and place.
