The product of close study of Gypsy folklore, the Hungarian Dances were originally destined for piano four hands; they were subsequently orchestrated, but Brahms himself also made a reduction for piano solo. Cédric Tiberghien has chosen to complete his programme with the eight Piano Pieces op.76, and the 16 Waltzes op.39, which offer a highly personal vision of the genre, in the tradition of Schubert and Schumann.
