About "IV. Rondo alla Zingarese. Presto from Quartet No. 1 in G minor for Piano and Strings, Op. 25" by Isaac Stern

The Rondo alla Zingarese from Brahms's G-minor Quartet is a fever dream of gypsy rhythm. Stern and Yo-Yo Ma lock into a presto whirl, piano strings rattling like cart wheels. Essential, yes—this is chamber music with its collar torn open, dancing to the edge.
