Music reviews of Brahms: String Quintets Opus 88 & 111
Music Review: Lovely readings of the overlooked Brahms string quintets
Rating: 4 Stars
The Boston Chamber Players, consisting of first-desk personnel from the BSO, alwyas play with elegance and style. At times I'm not sure they dig in enough, but thise lovely readings of the two Brahms string quintets put their best foot forward. These are sunny, genial works, well suited to the gorgeous polished tone of the Boston players--it's like hearing the orchestra's elegant string section in miniature. Tempos tend to be on the fast side, and we're definitely on the surface more than beneath it. Even so, this CD stands out among the best versions of these two masterpieces.
