Brahms and Beyond: Heath Quartet

The Heath Quartet perform Berg's String Quartet, Op 3, his first major success, alongside Brahms's String Quartet in A minor, recorded at LSO St Luke's in London.

Presented by Georgia Mann.

In the final concert of our series from LSO St Luke's in London, chamber-music works by Brahms are played alongside those of Austro-Germanic composers who were inspired or influenced by the great Viennese master. Today, Georgia Mann presents the Heath Quartet performing works by Berg and Brahms. Alban Berg, like his teacher Arnold Schoenberg, was very conscious of composing in the shadow of Brahms. His String Quartet Op.3, a highly expressive two-movement work, became his first big success. The Heath Quartet end today's programme with Brahms' String Quartet in A minor, Op.51 No.2.
