Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op 115

Experience Classical

Available for over a year

Where the Clarinet Trio is concise, the Clarinet Quintet is expansive. It gives the clarinet multiple opportunities to soar and roam amongst the strings. The music is optimistic and free-flowing. You would never guess it was written in the winter of Brahms’ life. Composer: Johannes Brahms Performer: Annelien Van Wauwe (Clarinet) Performers: Van Kuijk Quartet Recording date: 09 July 2017 Date of broadcast: 10 July 2017
