Piano Quartets, op. 25 & op. 60

Album by Johannes Brahms & Fauré Quartett

Piano Quartets, Op.25 and Op.60 are two chamber works for piano and strings by Johannes Brahms, composed and published in 1861 and 1875 respectively. They display Brahms's Romantic harmonic language and dense contrapuntal textures, with a strong conversational balance between piano and string instruments that marks their significance within his chamber-music output.
First released: 15th February 2008
