Chamber music by Brahms and Schumann from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (1/4)

Canadian violinist James Ehnes and American pianist Andrew Armstrong perform chamber music by two composers and friends, Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann.

Long-time recital partners, Canadian violinist James Ehnes and American pianist Andrew Armstrong perform a selection of chamber music by two composers and friends, Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann. They begin with an early sonata movement written by Brahms, his contribution to the F-A-E sonata alongside movements by Schumann and Albert Dietrich and a gift to their good friend, the violinist Joseph Joachim. Schumann went on to rewrite the first and second movements by Brahms and Dietrich to create his own third violin sonata, his last major work. The concert closes with Brahms dramatic third and final violin sonata.
Recorded at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow.
