CHAMBER MUSIC IX: Bruch & Brahms

CHAMBER MUSIC IX: Bruch & Brahms

Bruch - Selections from Eight pieces for Violin, Viola and Piano, Op. 83
Brahms - Piano Quartet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 26

In a recent article in The Guardian (UK) entitled “The Best of Brahms: Lesser-Known Treats,” SMF Associate Artistic Director Daniel Hope remarked, “Brahms plays such an important role in my musical life. Curiously, his Piano Quartet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 26, has fallen somewhat from grace over the years. And yet during Brahms’ lifetime this was the more often performed of his three piano quartets. Its ‘divine length’ at 50 minutes, and its appreciation of Schubert, make it a rewarding and inspiring piece to study and perform.” Bruch’s “Eight Pieces” are a product of the 19th century cultural climate, epitomizing the aspects of Romantic thought that glorified the sensual, the emotive and the sentimental.
