Brahms piano quartets at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall

About the Event

The season begins with a chance to hear some of Johannes Brahms' most beautiful pieces of chamber music performed at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall in Budapest.

Chamber music, by its nature and the way it is performed, is intimate. But does it have to be? Not always. Brahms's piano quartets, for example, are so richly vibrant that the listener has the impression the composer was expressing his yearning for symphonic music despite the frugal arrangement of the instruments.
This is one concert that would fill even New York's Carnegie Hall. Dénes Várjon, Kristóf Baráti and István Várdai are three musicians whose names have recently been regularly listed on the Bachtrack website as the most sought‐after artists in the world: in recent years, all three have topped this list. What is more, their proven musical partner, Máté Szűcs, is the solo violist for the Berlin Philharmonic. This is an alliance of four world‐class musicians, artists who have shown many times that they understand one another perfectly. Their chamber music recalls the spirit of the Marlboro Festival, where Dénes Várjon is a returning performer.
The piano quartets of Johannes Brahms are ranked among the greatest masterpieces of romantic chamber music: their unmatched thematic fullness and colour always make for a joyful experience. Now is your chance to experience them as part of an extraordinary performance!
