Strauss & Brahms

Strauss Piano Quartet in C minor, Op. 13
INTERVAL
Brahms Piano Quartet in C minor, Op. 60

Four of the world’s leading musicians make their Camerata Musica debuts in two major romantic works for piano quartet. All highly acclaimed soloists in their own right, the four artists come together regularly for chamber music: superstar pianist Benjamin Grosvenor, virtuoso violinist Hyeyoon Park, one of the world’s most sought-after violists Timothy Ridout, and the brilliant cellist Kian Soltani; They perform the last of Brahms’ three piano quartets, a passionate and fiery work of symphonic scope. Before the interval, they play Richard Strauss’ sole, early piano quartet, in which the young Strauss was strongly influenced by his hero Brahms.

Fitting regular tours in between their busy solo schedules, the quartet has garnered international acclaim for their collaboration, with Scherzo giving high praise to all four musicians: ‘It was a concert with a lot of electricity. Grosvenor performed with virtuosity and strength, which was never gratuitous [...] Park is a virtuoso with great strength and great musicality [...] Ridout showed a supportive power that showed his great musicianship [...] Soltani is a cellist who makes the instrument sing and shout, as appropriate not only to the work, but to the group’s approach [...] the concert was a joy, a resounding success.’
