Biography >


Thrill to Brahms' passionate Piano Quartet No.1 on the 180th anniversary year of his birth. This work of genius heralded the first great period of Brahms' chamber works and foretold of even more brilliance to come. The tour-de-force reaches its zenith in a wild Gypsy Rondo in the final movement. A jewel of Wagner's oeuvre, the tender Siegfried Idyll was written as a birthday surprise for his beloved Cosima. The piece is comprised of themes from Siegfried, the final installment of Wagner's tremendous Ring Cycle. You'll love the serenity from this famous declaration of love.
