Borodin: Piano Quintet & String Quartet #2

Borodin: Piano Quintet in C minor Piers Lane (piano) Goldner String Quartet String Quartet No. 2 in D major Goldner String Quartet Goldstein, Mikhail: Cello Sonata in B minor Julian Smiles (cello), Piers Lane (piano)

Russia in the nineteenth century had little need for chamber music—no Parisian-style competitive quartetting here. But out of this very isolation came a small, but nonetheless mighty, handful of works: those by Borodin are among the finest. Piers Lane and the Goldner String Quartet revel in what they find.
