Description

Schubert: Piano Sonata in B Major, D. 575, Op. 147 (October 14, 2001)Brahms: String Sextet No. 2 in G Major, Op. 36 (November 5, 2006)If you google “romantic music” you’re likely to come up with two very different ideas of what that phrase means, one of which has something to do with the 19th century and the other of which has much more to do with Barry Manilow or the soprano saxophone. Of course, with Brahms and Schubert, we’re talking about the former, Romantic with a capital ‘R.’ Romanticism actually caught hold first in literature and philosophy, a movement that focused on the emotions more than the rational mind. But, in Germany particularly, music came to be thought of as the most perfect realization of the Romantic ideals.
