Spark to Fire

Ludwig van Beethoven – Quintet in Eb major for Piano and Winds, Op.16

Brahms’ First Piano Quartet follows with brooding intensity and sweeping lyricism, culminating in a fiery, gypsy-tinged finale. Depth, drama and exhilarating ensemble playing shine in music of passion and irresistible drive.
