“This is Beethoven’s heir!”

-the violinist who premiered Brahms’ quartet

  

Johannes Brahms took Vienna by storm with his captivating G Minor Piano Quartet – as likely to bring audiences to their feet today as at its premiere.

Cooke: Arioso and Scherzo – 1955

                  

Mendelssohn: Sextet in D Major, Op. 110 – 1824

   

Brahms: Piano Quartet No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 25 – 1862
