THE JOHANNES PIANO QUARTET:

KHAC-UYEN NGUYEN (violin), GILL TARLTON (viola), JOHN KIRBY (cello), CATHY RILEY (piano)

BEETHOVEN:
Piano Quartet in E flat Opus 16
CHOPIN:
Introduction and Polonaise in C
BRAHMS:
Piano Quartet No.1 in G minor

Brahms's three piano quartets are among his greatest chamber works, the G minor being especially red-blooded and passionate, reminding one that he spent his late teens touring Hungary playing gypsy music! Before it we hear Beethoven's captivating Opus 16, originally written as a quintet for piano and wind instruments, but arranged by the composer himself in a string version and every bit as good. Between them John and Cathy mark the Chopin bicentenary with one of the composer's great showpieces, and one of the very few works he wrote that wasn't for piano alone, the glorious "Introduction and Polonaise Brillante".
