Album by Johannes Brahms & Yehudi Menuhin & Robert Masters & Cecil Aronowitz & Ernst Wallfisch & Maurice Gendron & Derek Simpson
Sextuor No. 1 en Si bémol majeur, Op. 18 is a string sextet by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1860 and published in 1862. The work exemplifies Romantic chamber music through rich harmonic language, interwoven counterpoint and expansive yet intimate textures across its movements, and it stands as an important early large-scale chamber composition in Brahms's output that helped bridge classical forms with Romantic expression.
First released: 1964
