Best known for his gigantic orchestral masterpieces Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) took equal pleasure in writing smaller miniatures. In fact, Brahms wrotea substantial number of pieces for vocal quartet and piano; this ensemble wasfor him a vehicle for expressing warmth and positive emotions, and as suchthis genre remains one of the most beloved in his output. This new recordingby the prestigious Latvian Radio Choir under Sigvards Klava features aselection from his Opp. 52, 64, 65 and 92, including some of his famousLiebeslieder-Walzer.
