String Quartet in C minor / String Quartet in A minor

Album by Johannes Brahms & New Budapest Quartet

The two String Quartets Op. 51 in C minor and A minor are chamber works by Johannes Brahms, composed and published in 1873. They demonstrate Brahms's late-Romantic approach to classical forms, combining dense harmonic language, rigorous motivic development and contrapuntal textures, and represent his mature engagement with the string quartet genre.

First released: February 1992
