Brahms: Piano Works (Murray Perahia, pianist)

"It is hard to keep up with the fortunes of Murray Perahia’s hands, apparently as trouble-prone as they are gifted. Mr. Perahia, with problems in his past, canceled a Carnegie Hall recital recently because of a hand injury. But everything was obviously working superbly in June, when he recorded these works: the Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Handel, the two Opus 79 Rhapsodies and two sets of Klavierstücke (Opp. 118, 119). You can only hope for his quick recovery and, selfishly, a Brahms sequel" (James R. Oestreich, "Holiday Gift Guide," New York Times, 11/23/10).
