String Quartets no. 1 in C minor & no. 2 in A minor

Album by Johannes Brahms & Cleveland Quartet

String Quartets No. 1 in C minor and No. 2 in A minor (Op. 51) are chamber works by Johannes Brahms composed and published in 1873. They embody Brahms's mature Romantic voice within the chamber-music tradition, combining dense contrapuntal writing, expansive harmonic language and classical formal structures, and they occupy a pivotal place in his chamber-music output as he reconciled classical models with his late-Romantic idiom.
