Gather Disc 5 (2021)

Disc 5 juxtaposes music by three signature voices in the chamber music canon. Ludwig van Beethoven’s String Trio, op. 9, no. 1, which documents the composer’s early career, is bookended by works from Johannes Brahms and Antonín Dvořák. It was Brahms himself who helped to launch Dvořák’s career in 1877: at that time the Western world’s most celebrated composer, Brahms discovered the young Dvořák’s music while serving on the panel for a state prize. Thanks to the elder composer’s endorsement, Dvořák signed a publishing contract and quickly produced a series of works that fueled his rise to international stardom; one of these early successes was the String Sextet in A major, op. 48. | Liner Notes
