Nash EnsembleAbout
The String Quintets are two of Brahms’ greatest chamber works. The Op.88 was a favourite of the composer, and he wrote to his publisher that ‘you’ll never receive anything more beautiful from me’. Strangely it has been slow to find affection with the public, which is a shame as it contains some of the composer's most exploratory and personal music - the second movement especially so.
The late Op.111 quintet was written when Brahms had all but retired. He’d attempted a 5th and a 6th symphony, but felt he had little more to say, and it was all more difficult to put on paper. When he delivered the work to the publisher he wrote ‘ with this note you can take leave of my music, because it is high time to stop’.
