Brahms speaks and plays (before 1897!)

A very old recording of Brahms himself, speaking very shortly (in english) for an English audience (Concert tour in England) "I am Master Brahms... Johannes Brahms..."
And then, the recording of him playing two of his most famous waltzes for piano...
Great playing, even if the recording gives lot of surface sounds (already lot of it has been fitered !), and in agreement with all we know about the way they played in those times...

But, unfortunately for the moment, the texts are still only in French (but music goes over that border isn't it !).
