¡Brahms: String Quartet No.3, Clarinet Quintet
¡New Zealand String Quartet, James Campbell (clarinet)
Description
[Machine Translation] Composed in 1875 and published the following year, Brahms' String Quartet No. 3 is characterized by its brightness and careful composition. At this time, Brahms was in the final stages of writing his Symphony No. 1, which took almost 20 years to complete, and was also working on several chamber works. The entire piece is closely related, and the final movement, in the form of a variation piece, uses material from the first movement, making this a work of great precision, as is typical of Brahms. The Clarinet Quintet is a masterpiece of Brahms's later years, which is known to be the result of his encounter with the clarinet virtuoso Muhlfeldt, who restored Brahms's enthusiasm and inspired him to write it in one stroke. The New Zealand String Quartet, which is performing, is a well-established ensemble that celebrated its 28th anniversary in 2015. With a wide repertoire ranging from classical works by Mendelssohn and others to contemporary works by Tan Dun and others, the quartet continues to attract audiences with concerts around the world, while each member teaches younger players in New Zealand. Year of recording: July 14-16, 2015
