JOHANNES BRAHMS (1833 - 1897)

trio for violin, horn and piano in e flat major op. 40

sonata for violin and piano no. 2 in a major op. 100

REVIEW

In the 18th and 19th century, a great many chamber-music works for winds were composed with a specific occasion in mind

Brahms Horn Trio, however, is an exception in that it was not especially written for a contemporary virtuoso

It is known, though, that Brahms himself played this difficult instrument fairly well, that he valued the beauty of its tone, and that he was inspired to compose the work recorded here by an inner urge

In his performance, John Barrows concentrates upon bringing out the compositional layout of the work, which largely dispenses with a display of virtuosic fireworks

The sonorous tonal character of the horn and its range of expression - from lyrical to mournful - are shown off to great effect

In the rapid Finale, however, Barrows pays tribute to the various playing techniques offered by this aristocratic instrument

With blaring staccatos and organ-like bass notes, he goads his fellow musicians to join him in a musical hunt, as it were, and they take up his challenge with thrilling effect

Well-chosen to complement the carefree Horn Sonata, the B side contains a light and airy performance of the Violin Sonata No. 2 op. 100 which clearly reflects Brahms mature compositional style
