Clara Schumann described the young Brahms’ music as “so masterly that one cannot but think that the good God sent him into the world ready-made.” And Robert Schumann was equally enthusiastic, citing Brahms as “springing forth like Minerva fully armed from the head of Jove”. Clara’s 3 whimsical Romances begin this concert, followed by Robert’s compelling settings of Heine’s poems of “Poet’s Love” and ending with Brahms’ powerful piano quintet, originally for string quintet but revised upon his beloved Clara’s recommendation.
