This is the quartet’s sequel to The Chopin Project, with Brodbeck again reshaping Romantic piano and orchestral music around Rosenwinkel’s guitar.
The same rhythm section, bassist Lukas Traxel and drummer Jorge Rossy, gives the two records a shared identity even though Brahms invites a heavier and more contrapuntal response.
