Two Strings to a Bow
Continuing the series in which Gordon Stewart explores two composers from different centuries. Haydn and Brahms. Haydn, the first great classical master, never ceased to be an inspiration to Brahms. The
Amadeus Quartet shows why, William Glock makes a case for the piano trios, and in the Scena di Berenice
Elisabeth Schwarzkopf suggests the great opera composer Haydn might have become. Dennis Brain plays the Brahms Horn Trio in E flat, Op 40;
Andre Tchaikovsky the Variations in D, Op 21 No 1; and Dr Brahms talks briefly into the microphone.
