Piano Quintet, op. 34 / String Quartet no. 3, op. 67

Album by Johannes Brahms & Pražák Quartet & Ivan Klánský

Piano Quintet, op. 34 / String Quartet no. 3, op. 67 is an album pairing two chamber works by Johannes Brahms, originally composed in 1864 (the quintet) and 1875 (the quartet). Both pieces exemplify Brahms's mature chamber style, combining Romantic lyricism with contrapuntal textures and dense harmonic development, the quintet displaying a symphonic scope while the quartet reflects a more concentrated, introspective approach in his later chamber writing.
First released: 10th January 2006
