The New Zealand String Quartet follows a recording of the first two string quartets by Brahms with this installment featuring the String Quartet No. 3. Written in 1876, its largely unclouded and cheerful qualities culminate in a theme and variations finale of exceptional imagination and mastery of form. His last chamber music was inspired by a great exponent of the clarinet, Richard Mühlfeld, for whom he wrote four works including the dazzling Clarinet Quintet, notable not only for its underlying elegiac mood but for its thematic interrelation and the wide expressive range of the solo instrument, performed here by distinguished Canadian clarinetist James Campbell.
