About

Bold, lush, and exquisite piano quartets by Mahler, Schumann, and Brahms, this core classical album presents some of the finest pieces written in the romantic era. For this chamber music album, Daniel Hope has put together a stellar cast, including CMS Artistic Directors David Finckel and Wu Han, as well as viola legend Paul Neubauer.

The recording is produced by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and the album will be released to coincide with the US tour in April.

Reviews

December 2015

Daniel Hope and his colleagues turn in well-paced readings of all three scores - their expressive intensity heightened by the almost gypsy-style vibrato favoured by Hope himself: highly appropriate to the riotous Hungarian finale of the Brahms and imparting an almost Klezmer-like feeling to the violin flourish at the end of the Mahler.

23rd May 2015

Schumann’s Piano Quartet sings with an articulate give-and-take and, though the temperature is moderate early on in Brahms’s Piano Quartet, the mercury rises strongly before the end.

July 2015

The slow movement [of the Schumann] is one of the best things here, full-toned where needs to be - as in the glorious theme itself...There is much to admire in the Brahms, above all perhaps in the Intermezzo, with its fined-down string shadings, and the voluptuous warmth of the outer sections of the Andante.

31st May 2015

the four participants move instinctively with the music and with one another, the piano (Schumann’s own instrument) blending in rather than dominating. The fugal flurries of the finale are articulated with terrific panache and togetherness...The affinity with style that shines through the Schumann is equally evident in Brahms’s G minor Piano Quintet.
