This album marks a milestone in the extensive discography of the Hagen Quartett – myrios classics is honoured to present their first recording of a Brahms string quartet. The quartet op. 67 is paired with Brahms’ piano quintet op. 34. Here, the Hagen Quartett is joined by their regular collaborator, pianist Kirill Gerstein.
This is technically flawless playing, and discipline and rigour also shape the interpretations. The plangent harmonies are kept firmly in order…The fine-boned vibrato is disciplined, occasional to the point of parsimony, evoking the orderly world of Haydn rather than late Romantic pathos…For this group, less is indeed more.
