Brahms was, first and foremost, a composer of chamber music. While there are only about a dozen orchestral works in all, he composed three each of piano trios, piano quartets, string quartets, and violin sonatas; two each of cello sonatas, string quintets, and string sextets; and a host of other pieces such as the clarinet quintet, horn trio, and piano quintet. All of this lovely, romantic music has been gathered into this attractively priced box. Performances are generally expert, and the music itself will give enormous pleasure to listeners who generally think of the composer only in terms of his symphonies and concertos. --David Hurwitz

Brahms: Complete Chamber Music [Box Set] Reviews
| 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:  To These Ears..., By nrutledge (new jersey) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Brahms: Complete Chamber Music [Box Set] (Audio CD) Going against the grain here it seems, but to these ears this set is superb. The sound is from the end of an era where dry and up front were the preferred. That may be a sound not geared to each individual taste but if you like the quartet recordings of the mid-20th century you'll be more than fine with the sound here. Much has been said about the Italiano's sound and performances. I'm a fan of this ensemble--and that also seems a matter of personal taste across their recordings. These are fine, solid Italiano-readings of the Brahms quartets; if you like them you should be fine with these renditions. The other artists are top notch for their time and at the top of their form. The Berlin orchestra chamber group is excellent; Grumiaux is fine as usual; Sebok is solid; Starker, of course, as cited by even the critics of the set; and etc. If you pick up the set and don't like it let me know. I'll take a back-up copy if the price is right. These performances will only look and sound... Read more Best of the Best, This review is from: Brahms: Complete Chamber Music [Box Set] (Audio CD) This collection of the Complete Brahms Chamber Music has most of the best, famous and sensitive versions of the Brahms chamber pieces, (some of it very hard to obtain elsewhere) all brought under one roof. The Beaux Arts Trio interpretations are exquisite and just can't be found individually anymore.  Just Wonderfull, This review is from: Brahms: Complete Chamber Music [Box Set] (Audio CD) Just compare the price with the quality. Obviously it is not the best recording like does of Deutsche Gramophon or Sony, but it includes exceptional performances fron Quarteto Italiano and the rest of the interpreters. Don't belive what John C. Bostron wrote about quality. For only 70 dollars you have the complete chamber music of one of the greatests composers ever. Buy it, its a wonderfull experience for a very cheep price. If you don't like some recordings you can get other records to have a best sound performance. But for beginers ist just wonderful. |
