Anyone who has been to Jack's packed Wigmore Hall recitals would know that he's a rare artist who has the power to illuminate the music he plays without imposing an alien personality on it. Some reviewers have noted he's a violinist of the "old school", perhaps a bit of Shumsky ? I'm not sure what these kind of comments mean, but there's the impression of a warm and highly attenuated musicianship at work. These are not showy performance: that's really the last thing the music needs. Late Brahms is inwards, emotional and brooding. A pianist who understand how to reflect the late sound world of Brahms is essential, and in Kayta he has a deeply sympathetic and illuminating partner who follows the twists and turns of the violin writing superbly. Their magnetic partnership is so apparent on every page.
Jack chose to use his gorgeously toned Guadagnini for this disc rather than a borrowed instrument. Just listen to his almost cello like tone in the last movement of the op 100 sonata! Interpretively there's nothing to fault here, no dwelling on detail that doesn't merit attention; lyrical and surging when appropriate, inward and reposeful when called upon. I'm always hearing little details in the piano writing, phrases carried back and forth between the two of them, little contrapuntal details, the pianist is always in the background but never dominates the violin.
For my money this is a disc that I'd be happy sit alongside the classic Suk/Katchen partnership: that's no mean compliment! I hope everyone else enjoys these sonatas as much as I have done.

I had a beautiful performance of these sonatas plus that by Cesar Franck by Anne-Sophie Mutter on LP but have been unable to find a replacement on CD. I decided to try this one of the 3 Brahms from Jack Liebeck although I did not know the violinist. I find it a beautiful performance fully equal to that by Anne-Sophie Mutter.There is excellent balance between the pianist and violinist, a lovely expressive warmth in the playing and the tempos seem to me just right. I am happy to give this 5 stars.
