I eventually bought the music and used to take it to string quartet weekends praying that a 'cellist and and viola player could be found on a Saturday afternoon when there was an optional 'free choice' option offered. No, it's not the most polished version but I think the music's joy comes shining through. It was only a year or so later I accidentally heard it on the Radio and recognised it.Īlas, there's no mention of my first Lp which was a CfP disc of the Principals of the LPO led by Rodney Friend which is still my favourite version. The play made no impression but I thought the music was terrific! Mind you, I thought it had been written specially for the broadcast and had no idea it was written by Brahms. My introduction to this wonderful music was back in 1979 when the slow movement was used as introduction music to a BBC Radio 3 play called ' The Tennent of Wildfell Hall'. The Brahms' sextets are, possibly, my all time favourite chamber works to both listen to and to play.
