More Details on Brahms - Piano Quartets
Following their release of Brahms’ Double Concerto and Clarinet Quintet, Renaud Capuçon and Gautier Capuçon further their plan to record the composer’s complete solo and chamber works for Virgin Classics.
After Renaud’s collaboration with Nicholas Angelich for the violin sonatas, later joined by Gautier for the piano trios, French violist Gérard Caussé joined them in Lugano in December 2007 to record Brahms' three Piano Quartets.
The piano quartets, although composed at the same time (even though Op. 62 was first performed in 1875), are very different in character and mood, from a lighter and more poetic nature in the first 2, to a darker more sombre atmosphere in Op.60.
