The String Quintets are two of Brahms' greatest chamber works. The op.88 was a favourite of the composer, and he wrote to his publisher that 'you'll never receive anything more beautiful from me'. Strangely it has been slow to find affection with the public, which is shame as it contains some of the composers most exploratory and personal music - the second movement especially so. The late op.111 quintet was written when Brahms had all but retired.
