String Quartets, op. 51 & op. 67 / Clarinet Quintet, op. 115

Album by Johannes Brahms & Charles Neidich & Juilliard String Quartet

String Quartets, op. 51 & op. 67 / Clarinet Quintet, op. 115 is a collection of chamber works by German composer Johannes Brahms, composed across the 1870s to the 1890s. The music exemplifies Brahms's late-Romantic idiom, balancing classical forms with rich harmonic density, contrapuntal textures and intimate chamber sonorities, while the clarinet quintet reflects a more reflective, autumnal tone associated with the later phase of his career.
First released: 1995
