Released in September 2024 on the Ondine label, this double CD features Johannes Brahms's Piano Quartets Nos. 2 and 3, serving as a historically poignant document of the final recordings by the late German pianist Lars Vogt. On this album, Vogt, who passed away from cancer, performs alongside his longtime friends and fellow virtuosos—Christian Tetzlaff, Barbara Buntrock, and Tanja Tetzlaff—creating exceptionally intense, delicate, and profound chamber music. This masterful interpretation of Brahms's expansive and dramatic works offers listeners an emotionally charged and unforgettable swan song from one of the most respected pianists of his generation.
