Our Take

Panayiotis Demopoulos brings a touch of class and sophistication to his rendition of Brahms' Intermezzi, Op.117. From the first delicate notes of the opening track, Demopoulos showcases his technical prowess and deep understanding of the composer's work.

Each track is a journey through Brahms' intricate melodies, with Demopoulos's expressive playing highlighting the emotional depth of the music. The slow movements are particularly moving, as the pianist's touch brings out the bittersweet beauty of Brahms' compositions.

While some may argue that Demopoulos's interpretation is a bit too polished and safe, there is no denying the sheer skill and precision in his playing. This is not an album for those seeking wild experimentation or avant-garde interpretations – this is a faithful and reverent homage to Brahms.

The production on the album is impeccable, with each note crystal clear and perfectly balanced. The sound quality is top-notch, allowing Demopoulos's playing to shine through without any distractions.

In conclusion, Panayiotis Demopoulos's take on Brahms' Intermezzi, Op.117 is a masterclass in classical piano playing. It may not push boundaries or challenge expectations, but it is a beautifully crafted and thoughtfully executed album that will surely appeal to fans of the composer. Brahms himself would be proud.
