MP3 New York Philomusica Chamber Ensemble - Johannes Brahms
Boisterous Brahms’ first big success is paired with a work from his meditative last years, each vigorously and poetically interpreted with the requisite virtuosity and insight.

CLASSICAL: Brahms, CLASSICAL: Chamber Music
Of the many great composers whose oeuvre invites surveying on an entire program, the brooding northern German, Johannes Brahms, is at or near the top of the list. The Trio in A minor is a work of introspection. There are no more heights to be conquered here. Rather the view is one of satisfied contemplation of the beauty wrought in his "nightingale''s" song.
It was to Clara Schumann that Brahms first introduced his Quartet in G minor in early 1863. He introduced some distincty non-traditional formal elements and took good advantage of the cross currents of central European cultures abounding during that period. The exuberant "Hungarian" finale of this quartet will nearly always bring an audience to its feet.
On this CD, the New York Philomusica captures the innovative spirit that makes Brahms a favorite of audiences everywhere.
