Piano Quintet / The String Quartets

Album by Johannes Brahms & Emerson String Quartet & Leon Fleisher

Piano Quintet and the String Quartets are chamber works by Johannes Brahms, composed between the 1860s and 1870s. They exemplify his mature Romantic chamber style, combining classical forms with contrapuntal textures, rich harmonic language and lyrical writing, and they represent a significant development in his compositional voice within 19th-century chamber music.
