Brahms’s remarkable Piano Quartet, written when he was just 26, is packed with big emotions and what DSO violinist Jing Zhang describes as “wild escalation” in the work’s fiery finale. We turn then to a trio Brahms wrote soon after in the contemplation of loss and inspired by a walk in the woods, building a natural, deeply personal world within the sound of three players.
