Brahms & Contemporaries, Vol. 3

Description

A fascinating coupling with the Piano Quartet by Brahms and that of Dora Peja?evi?! A coupling that brings together Dora Peja?evi? and Johannes Brahms, two composers born more than fifty years apart, is very relevant! Undeniably in the same compositional lineage. We were immediately won over by the passion of Peja?evi?'s Piano Quartet, but also by the tenderness of its slow movement, and we thought it would be the ideal companion to Brahms's First Piano Quartet. Brahms's Piano Quartet is rightly one of the most beloved chamber music works, and few pieces are as exhilarating to perform. This album marks the end of our journey through Brahms's three piano quartets, and it was an immense privilege and great joy to record these works, as well as three major piano quartets by composers who deserve to be much better known. A magnificent journey for the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective!
