Notes & Reviews:

The aesthetic and stylistic connections between Brahms and Schoenberg are brought to light on this recording from the Ysaÿe Quartet. Composed in the summer of 1875, Brahms' String Quartet No.3 would be his last. Written 24 years later, Schoenberg's string sextet Verklärte Nacht, inspired by Richard Dehmel's poem of the same name, derives its stylistic lineage from German late-Romanticism. Like his teacher Zemlinsky, Schoenberg was influenced by both Brahms and Wagner and sought to combine the former's structural logic with the latter's harmonic language. For the sextet, the Ysaÿe Quartet is joined by violist Isabel Charisius and cellist Valentin Erben.
