Violin Concerto / String Quintet, Op. 111

Album by Johannes Brahms & Antje Weithaas & Camerata Bern

Violin Concerto / String Quintet, Op. 111 is a classical album of works by Johannes Brahms, pairing his Violin Concerto (composed 1878) with his String Quintet in G major, Op. 111 (composed 1890). The programme juxtaposes Brahms's expansive Romantic violin-concerto writing, with broad orchestral textures and virtuosic solo passages, against the late-period chamber voice of the Op. 111 quintet, which features dense yet refined textures, contrapuntal interplay and a more introspective, formally concentrated mood indicative of his late style.
