Mariani Klavierquartett - Brahms & Gernsheim

Mariani Klavier quartett returns with Vol 3 of their critically acclaimed Brahms & Gernsheim series for Audax Records, pairing Johannes Brahms' dramatic Piano Quartet in C Minor, Op 60, a masterpiece of rich textures and emotional depth, with the lush Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 41, by Friedrich Gernsheim-an exquisite, yet underappreciated gem of the Romantic repertoire. The ensemble's exceptional craftsmanship breathes new life into these pieces, drawing out the vibrant contrasts between Brahms' intense passion and Gernsheim's sweeping lyricism. A compelling exploration of two composers who shaped the late 19th-century chamber music landscape, this release offers a triumphant conclusion to the series.
