Henschel Quartet
Martino Tirimo (piano)

The Henschel Quartet, in their twentieth-anniversary season, perform two favourite works from the quartet repertoire and join forces with pianist Martino Tirimo for Brahms's great Piano Quintet in A minor. This piece, which began life in 1862 as a string quintet and was then recast as a sonata for two pianos, only reached its final form two years later. In its final version Brahms's friend the conductor Hermann Levi declared it "beautiful beyond words: a masterpiece of chamber music.".
