The latest addition to my site (primarily dedicated to restoration of recordings on 78s) is a recording of the Brahms Piano Quartet Opus 60 by four musicians Harry Cumpson, Cyril Towbin, David Dawson and Carl Stern. This work was completely new to me and I was intrigued to find a detailed analysis of the last movement via google (A note on the Finale of.............). The performance is by turns passionate and delicate and the composers trade-mark "3 against 2" is a feature. The Brahms has been placed following the Piano Quintet by Bloch and you will have to suffer/enjoy (according to taste) a minute or so's worth of this composition as the file loads. I hope some of you will be tempted to listen to the whole "modernist but rooted in tonal" composition which probably is much tamer now than it was when composed.

on a personal basis if you have any historical versions of Brahms Clarinet trio i'd be grateful!According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.
