The ascension followed by a descension from 15:02 to 15:10 bears a significant resemblance to the ending of Chopin's Ballade No. 4 :) What a great and powerful quintet.
I've been looking for the recording of this piece for quite a long time. Thanks for the uploading. This is one of the most beautiful works of late romanticism. Hopefully youtube won't delete this. Wilhelm Berger deserves to be heard.
Wow, finally found this piece here, thanks for uploading! A very underestimated piece and one of my favourite pieces of chamber music, very Brahms-like and yet with his own style. Two thumbs up.
Yes, why (nearly) only Brahms? This piece is wonderful (and beautifully performanced!) I would like to hear more of this composer (and these musicians!) There are plenty of pieces from Wilhelm Berger on RUclips, I see!
Where do you find these things? Amazing stuff! I am a musician, and very bored about that same repertory, same repetitions every single time. Can't stand it anymore! Your channel is the one for those amazing pieces, especially romantic stuff! Thank you so much!
Oh my lord, I thought YOU WERE GONE for ever. I was literally dying to here it and I'm so extremely happy your channel is back up. All the music you've been posting has been inspiring for years
I've been listening to lesser-known but sometimes brilliant composers and pieces repeatedly for several years now but I still find this quartet one of the best, on par with Tschaikovsky's, Scharwenka's, Arensky's, Brahms', Klughart's, Martucci's or C. Frank's very best.
Wonderful work! Does anyone (beside me, of course) hear in the last movement some strong echoes of the last movement of Ernest Bloch's first Concerto Grosso? It's not only the similar instrumental ensemble, but also the character of the music: hewn from Granite, but at the same time - highly emotional and deeply felt.
@@wilhelmberger9925 Mediocre piece by a dabbling, beta Brahms-mimic composer. Not a masterpiece. Deserves to be forgotten for it's betters, written nearly 40 years previous.
@@bc4315you're the type of person, that if Brahms name would be above this quintet, you would hail it as a masterpiece 🤣 Brahms would be proud to have written this gem.
@@bc4315ut i honestly feel sorry for you, that you can't appreciate a wunderful piece of art. Furthermore, i'm convinced that you didnt listen more than 5 seconds of it.
@@bc4315 Thank you so much for your insightful, elaborate characterisation of this horrible piece! you made us all realize this piece is absolute chunk and we were all wrong. Thank you so much again for enlightening all of us!
I see how he uses his motifs(sometime several at once and to elongate and in 5th movement the interplay and emotion are wonderful! ) in opening movement .H section shows metaphor as music . He is obviously well trained ! He has good control over his materials ! And still only Brahms and perhaps Franck have the best piano quintets in this late romantic mode. Elgar 's too is rarely heard but not in their league .
+olla-vogala Not being much of a music critic, I'd say it was a good piece in the 19th century mold of Schumman/BRahms/Spohr, etc etc. as opposed to the Liszt/Wagner ultra-romanticism. This opinion has not been endorsed by my three cats >^..^
Uno dei brani piu' beĺli che ho mai sentito! Intenso, drammatico, poetico!!!

Ingeniously how in the finale a sonata movement grows out of a passacaglia!
first time i thought about that… always thought its „just“ a passacaglia…. fantastic!!
The way Berger opens with an ostinato on the theme in the Finale....just ingenious. Definitely worth further listening and study!

The poco adagio second movement is really beautiful. Thanks for posting!
This is so, so beautiful! What a wonderful work of art!

+Daniel Stegmann Thank you! Yes I agree, a remarkably strong work for such an unknown/underrated composer.

impress with this unknown/forgotten composer. 13:06 is great

+Jovey Osagie Yes I'm back! And here to stay (hopefully...)
+Jovey Osagie , I love your channel so much. The things you've posted in the past really has changed me. I owe a lot to my success as a musician.
Jovey Osagie
Thank you! It means a lot to hear that :) Check out Bartje Bartmans as well, formerly known as bartje11 (he's also back!)
Can't wait to here it, I'm going to state with my music, I owe you one!
THERE'S TOO MUCH CLASSICAL MUSIC I BARELY DISCOVERED A QUARTER OF IT!!!
Kliment Milanov Probably not even 1 percent ;)
@Blake Ernesto so now we have to put up with botting on classical music youtube comment sections... great
ejat?
Marvelous!
Yet another forgotten composer to delve in to. RUclips will keep me busy with this indefinitely.
what a gem! thank you

npn capisco come una composizione del genere sia sconosciuta, secondo me e un capolavoro

42:15 : Brahms piano quintet, 4th mvt :)
Sublime music by the way.
Indeed - surely this may have been an homage - it's so similar.
Thrilling... Thanks for this jewel.
What a masterpiece! Its a pity that Berger is so neglected :'(
This isn't a masterpiece.
@@bc4315 and whatever you say, can‘t be taken seriously.

As terrific as t5he best of Brahms' chamber music for piano and strings!
Not even close.

Another composer I have not heard before. Wikipedia has a short article about him.
