Brahms / Auryn Quartet - Auryn Series 16: Brahms String Quartets Music CD

The Auryns approach the Quartets, which are some of the most complex Brahms ever wrote, with an entirely open mind. The four musicians playing most expressively, without ever drifting off into that thick, vibrato-dripping sound which serves many a far more famous quartet formation as a surrogate for true passion. The Auryn Quartet's Brahms sounds lean and yet sensual; the tempi are prompt and flexible. A highly successful recording which was also recorded in a first-class way (as we have become used to from the ambitious Tacet Label)"
