Zenne Quartet

Johannes Brahms Sextuor string no. 1, op. 18 Composed between 1859 and 1860, the String sextet no. 1 in B-flat major op. 18 marks one of the first great successes of Johannes Brahms. Written for two violins, two violas and two cellos, the work already reveals the richness of writing and the expressive depth of the composer. Between warm lyricism, classical elegance and romantic intensity, this sextet unfolds a broad and luminous sound palette, characteristic of the young Brahms.
