Johannes Brahms: Piano Quartets Nos 1 & 3 (Onyx Audio CD)

Fourth release on ONYX from “Britain’s premier chamber ensemble” (The Times) and second in their ongoing Brahms series, a generous 74 minute coupling containing the G Minor and C Minor Piano Quartets. The group launch the disc with a performance of the G Minor at the Wigmore Hall on November 8th

The Brahms String Sextet recording (ONYX4019) showed the world the quality of the current Nash ensemble, garnering rave reviews around the world, including a Gramophone Editor’s Choice
“Gorgeous chamber music-making - urgently recommended” (Fanfare) “A red wine, red-meat disc from the must-have boutique label" (Independent on Sunday)

This new recording is produced by the legendary Andrew Keener who will also produce the next title in the series, the String Quintets for ONYX in December and the remaining Piano Quartet coupled with the Clarinet Trio in 2009.
