About

In his Piano Quartet and Quintet, Schumann revisited the frameworks inherited from Schubert and Beethoven to create astonishingly innovative structures. Their grandiose musical and emotional gestures place these works among his supreme achievements. The prestigious artists assembled here, with their extensive experience of performing Schumann’s chamber music and concertos, do full justice to his imaginative world.

Performance ***** Sonics ****

Jason Victor Serinus – Stereophile.com – 9 February 2024

Editor’s Choice – March 2024

“…A late 2023 release it may be, but these immensely involving accounts, caught between the domestic salon and the public concert hall, and perfectly framed, beautifully balanced by Stephan Cahen’s adroitly focused engineering and production, can surely be considered among the year’s best.” *****

Michael Quinn – Limelightmagazine.com.au – 9 February 2023

“… Highly recommended.”

Stephen Cera – Gramophone magazine – February 2024
