Two world class ensembles team up to conclude our classical season. Brahms' second quartet, though no less dramatic than its sister Op 51/1, is the more lyrical of the pair. The first movement sets the tone with its beautiful singing lines, while the last evokes lively Hungarian Gypsy music. Schubert's glorious life-affirming Octet is one of the great wonders of classical music. Even as gathering storm clouds seem to threaten all, they are magically shot-through with sweet shafts of sunlight as only Schubert is able to do.
