The Bartholdy Quintet releases its new album, recorded on our partner label CAvi Music, which includes both of Brahms' string quintets. In an attempt to emulate Schubert and Mozart, Brahms only took on the challenge of composing his second string quintet in his old age. After completing this task, he told his publisher that he had reached the pinnacle of his entire creative output. In fact, the composition turned out to be the prelude to a further surge of strength and creativity. Brahms also initially delayed composing his first string quintet, written eight years earlier, because he felt that his first attempt was better suited as a piano quintet. In the end, however, it turned out to be one of his most cheerful chamber music works. He called it a "product of spring," or, as his biographer put it, "a child of the spicy Ischl corn."
