Michael Collins (clarinet) and the Brodsky Quartet perform music by Howells and Brahms.

A performance by clarinettist Michael Collins and the Brodsky Quartet. Howells: Rhapsodic Quintet for clarinet and strings, Op 31. Brahms: Quintet in B minor, Op 115.

In the third of this week's Radio 3 Lunchtime Concerts featuring woodwind & strings, the focus turns to the clarinet. From the Clothworkers Centenary Concert Hall at the University of Leeds, clarinettist Michael Collins is joined by the Brodsky Quartet to perform two very different works by Brahms & Howells, written less than thirty years apart. Brahms composed his B minor quintet in 1891 for the legendary clarinettist Richard MÃ¼hlfeld, and Howells completed his Rhapsodic Quintet just after the end of the First World War in 1919.

HOWELLS - Rhapsodic Quintet for clarinet and strings Op.31
BRAHMS - Quintet for clarinet & strings in B minor Op.115.
