Elgar & Beach: Piano Quintets / Takacs Quartet
Label: harmonia mundi Catalog: CDA68295 Format: CD Amy Beach's piano quintet proved a deservedly popular success in it's early years. On this recording from the Takács Quartet and Garrick Ohlsson, it makes a compelling, and surprising, match for Elgar's own piano quintet. A late work by the composer, written around the time of the cello concerto, it inhabits a similar emotional landscape. Price: $32.98 |
