Johannes Brahms: Complete String Quintets https://audite.de/en/product/CD/97724-brahms_complete_string_quintets.html 4022143977243 97724 BCA 2016.11.04 "Anders als in konkurrierenden Aufnahmen der Quintette bleiben hier die bisweilen orchestral anmutenden Klangballungen immer durchhörbar, wird das Stimmengeflecht zum Erlebnis. Das ist Kammermusik auf allerhöchstem Niveau." (hifi & records) "Anders als in konkurrierenden Aufnahmen der Quintette bleiben hier die bisweilen orchestral anmutenden Klangballungen immer durchhörbar, wird das Stimmengeflecht zum Erlebnis. Das ist Kammermusik auf allerhöchstem Niveau." (hifi & records) Brahms’s string quintets, masterworks of his late style, demand a precise and sensitive conjunction of contrasts: combining cheerfulness and melancholy, expansive ideas and compressed form, reminiscences of the past (including his own early works) and the desire to express a new and valid musical message – all this needs to be both perfectly balanced and clearly articulated. The Mandelring Quartet with Roland Glassl has pulled off such a “knowing” interpretation, masterfully balancing the works’ inner tensions. I.
