Brahms Piano Quartet

Emotion recollected in tranquillity: Brahms’s youth had its share of heartbreak, but in his Second Piano Quartet, he throws open the windows and simply lets the summer air blow in. Big, leisurely and packed with warm-hearted melodies, this is Brahms at his lovely, lyrical best, and these three CBSO players – plus Professor John Thwaites of the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire – can’t wait to share it.
