Product Description
Contents: [Deutsche Grammophon 125th Anniversary Edition] [First Analog Recording Period] [SHM-CD Specification] [Green Color Label Coating] The Amadeus String Quartet, which performed at the forefront of the world for 39 years from 1948 to 1987 without a single change in members, had a refined ensemble and compelling interpretations that could be considered an ideal form of chamber music. The Brahms String Sextets, recorded in 1966 and 1968 with violist Cecil Aronowitz and cellist William Preese, are historically significant recordings in which fluidity and intense romanticism coexist at a high level. The second movement of the first String Sextet is lyrical music that was memorably used in Louis Malle's film "The Lovers," and the beauty of its melody makes it perfect for those new to Brahms.
