A varied program of mixed chamber music sets the stage for Brahms’s rich and complex G Major String Sextet. A sonorous work filled with dancing rhythms, exquisite melodies, and even a musical reference to a lost love, the String Sextet No. 2 is a sophisticated work by a great artist reaching the heights of his compositional genius.
