Product Description
From Amazon.com
Brahms's Piano Quartets are all masterpieces, and these are among the best modern recordings of them. There are a few historic recordings (particularly the Adolf Busch-Rudolf Serkin version of Op. 26) that have more firepower, but these 1973 Beaux Arts versions have plenty of flexibility and power of their own. The couplings are generous, the price reasonable, and the sound just fine. But beware of the "Brahms" Trio in A, which is dubiously authenticated. If Brahms did write this music, which I doubt, he showed excellent judgment in suppressing it. Fortunately, the provably genuine Brahms in this set is worth its price. --Leslie Gerber

An older recording, but still amazing,

This review is from: Brahms: Piano Quartets, Piano Trio in A Minor (Audio CD)
This collection of Brahms' piano quartets are a great listen all around. Every quartet has an enormous power and beauty to it.I like to say about Brahms' music that it is airtight. There is never a wasted note. Every bit of melody, every nuance and texture in the harmony are masterfully crafted and serve a purpose. There is never a moment when you look at your watch and wonder when the composer is going to get around to wrapping this or that section up and get to the exciting stuff. The Beaux Arts Trio along with Walter Trampler do a commendable job of bringing every moment of beauty and excitement out. They balance the sweetness of the slow movements and melodies well with the aggression and rhythmic complexities of the quicker movements. My current favorite quartet is the A Major. There is a singable melody or rhythmic puzzle in every movement. I listened to the final movement four times today (excessive I know, but it's just so much fun to try to figure out how Brahms manipulates those melodies within the time signatures)!

I am an avid Brahms fan and just recently picked up this copy of the quartets. I love them! The rondo of the first quartet is fascinating and the pain in the C minor trio is unmistakable. As traditional as Brahms is, he is a definate romantic. I agree [...] about the last trio that is attributed to him. It isn't as good by far. The sound is very clear and the pianist on the recordings impressed me. If you don't own the quartets, go ahead and buy this set. You won't be dissapointed!

great recording,

This review is from: Brahms: Piano Quartets, Piano Trio in A Minor (Audio CD)
This is chamber music at its best played by the masters, the Beaux Arts Trio. All the pieces are played in a crisp, clean manner with the proper emotion and phrasing.
