Pianist Sarah Beth Briggs’ latest AVIE offering, Small Treasures, leads with music by two composers of which her interpretations have been widely praised – Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms – alongside works by Robert’s wife Clara, two members of the French composing circle ‘Les Six’ – Poulenc and Tailleferre – all capped with a Mozart miniature. In her first solo recording for AVIE in 2019, Sarah Beth Briggs’ performances of music by Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms were described as “81 minutes of pianistic Heaven” by International Piano Magazine. In her latest offering, Small Treasures, Sarah returns (amongst others) to two of those composers’ greatest sets of miniatures: Schumann’s piano cycle Waldszenen and Brahms’s 4 Klavierstücke, Op.119, his final statement for solo piano.
