String Quintets

Album by Johannes Brahms & WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne Chamber Players

String Quintets are chamber music works by German composer Johannes Brahms, composed in 1882 and 1890. They are late-Romantic pieces that use a second viola to expand quartet textures and mix rich harmony with contrapuntal writing in expansive, formally structured movements which show Brahms's mature compositional approach.
