String Quartet no. 1 in C minor, op. 51 no. 1 / Clarinet Quintet in B minor, op. 115

Album by Johannes Brahms & Aris Quartett & Thorsten Johanns

String Quartet No. 1 in C minor, Op. 51 No. 1 and the Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op. 115 are compositions by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1873 and 1891 respectively. The quartet exemplifies Brahms's mature Romantic chamber style with dense textures, contrapuntal development and dramatic-to-lyrical contrasts as part of his return to chamber music in the 1870s, while the later clarinet quintet adopts a more autumnal, intimate timbre and concise lyricism that reflects his late-period interest in wind sonority and concentrated form.
