Brahms played by the best.

"I may be biased being from the Atlanta area and a big fan of the Atlanta Symphony, I believe this is some of the best played Brahms chamber music ever. The horn trio is played with such intensity and beauty....it captures all of the moods Brahms was expressing. The horn player, Mr. Andrus, shines which is why he is principal of the A.S.O. as does the wonderful assistant Concert master. Ms. Ardan is such a wonderfully sensitive player especially on this gorgeous piece...Brahms sonata number 2. She is technically flawless and also has a dark wonderful tone...she is hands down one of the top clarinetists in the orchestral and solo genre. The piano for 4 hands pieces are equally great, those pieces are played perfectly. I highly recommend this to everyone who is even thinking about buying this. Check out the Atlanta music scene and hear some of the best players."

"...but I agree with the Music Fan from Atlanta. All I can do is echo her praise, and urge you, without delay, to acquire this treasurable album. Although I wouldn't go as far as to say as the best ever, but surely one of the best Brahms chamber music compilations!"
