Tense and moody with an air of anxiety, this Quartet was born from Brahms’ complex relationship with the Schumann’s (Brahms was in love with his mentor’s wife). The sense the music could burst in an instant conveys Brahms’ air of desperation. Composer: Johannes Brahms Performer: Benjamin Grosvenor (Piano) Performers: Elias Quartet Recording date: 27 November 2010 Date of broadcast: 08 April 2011
