Clarinet Quintet / String Quartet no. 2

Album by Johannes Brahms & Jerusalem Quartet & Sharon Kam

Clarinet Quintet / String Quartet No. 2 is a recording of chamber works by German composer Johannes Brahms, composed in 1891 (Clarinet Quintet) and 1873 (String Quartet No. 2). These pieces exemplify Brahms's late-Romantic chamber style, combining lyrical wind writing and dense, contrapuntal string textures, with the clarinet quintet reflecting his late-period interest in the instrument and the quartet illustrating his mature approach to string writing and formal economy.
