IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

BBC Record Review featured Brahms on 31 August, and Jonathan's interpretations for BIS Records were chosen as the first of Brahms expert Katy Hamilton's top five all time Brahms recordings, stating:

He’s just such a wonderful magician of colour, he gets so many different colours out of the keyboard across the piece, and such a beautiful intimate, tender sound in the way he plays – it’s really magical.
