Four Instruments, One Voice

Two landmark works of chamber music, linking Beethoven’s classical refinement with Brahms’s mature lyricism. Beethoven’s Piano Quartet no. 2 is distinguished by its brilliance and elegance, while already revealing the first glimmers of the genius that would change the course of music for ever. Brahms’s iconic Piano Quartet no. 1 is a work of epic proportions and unparalleled power. After three movements brimming with lyricism and melodic richness, the work concludes with the famous "Rondo alla Zingarese": a finale set to Gypsy rhythms, in which the four instruments come together in a dance of virtuosity and emotion.
