Brahms in Bath

Highlights from Bath MozartFest featuring Mendelssohn's Concert Piece in F minor for clarinet and basset horn, Op 113, and Brahms's Piano Quintet in F minor, Op 34.

Sarah Walker introduces highlights from last November's Bath MozartFest. Recorded in the elegant surroundings of the Assembly Rooms, clarinettist Michael Collins is joined by Peter Sparks on basset horn and pianist Michael McHale for Mendelssohn's dramatic F minor Concert Piece. That's followed by a highlight of Brahms' chamber output, his Piano Quintet in F minor performed by the Casals Quartet, with the virtuosic piano part taken by Alexander Melnikov.
