The best Brahms chamber music our reviewer's ever heard from Royal Northern Sinfonia, plus a Sibelius quartet that needs to be be heard more.

Cellist Louisa Tuck and the Royal Northern Sinfonia, with guest conductor Paul Watkins, deliver a lyrical and coherent interpretation of Britten's complex Cello Symphony.
