Brahms First Piano Quartet
Aug 28th, 2008 by oldfogey
If, before facing the hangman’s noose, I had to choose one slow movement in all chamber music to hear as my final musical farewell to this world, it would be from Beethoven’s Archduke Trio. If, however, I was given a last minute reprieve and then asked to choose another slow movement to express my relief and joy at my return to the world of the living it would be this - from Brahms Piano Quartet No. 1. Here it is played by Gyorgy Pauk (violin), Nabuko Imai (viola), Ralph Kirshbaum, (cello), Peter Frankl (piano) from a concert I attended at St John’s, Smith Square, on 10 January 1982.
