Brahms's Piano Quintet, performed by Stephen Hough and the Castalian String Quartet
Stephen Hough's new album 'Brahms: The Final Piano Pieces' is the Recording of the Month in the January issue. 'Blend imaginative yet learned interpretation, profound sensitivity and poetry, and personal charisma, and you have here one of the finest accounts of Brahms’s late piano works on record', writes our reviewer, Michelle Assay.
And its these qualities which can also be found in abundance in the most recent live stream from London's Wigmore Hall, featuring Hough with the Castalian String Quartet performing Brahms's Piano Quintet alongside a new discovery: Carl Frühling's Piano Quintet.
