3.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty good recording,
By jt52 "jt52" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dvorák: Piano Quintet, Op. 81; String Quintet, Op. 97 (Audio CD)
To summarize my view, this is a pretty good recording. If you're a stereophile, check this CD out as it is technically one of the best studio recordings I've heard, with great detail and beautiful rendition of the individual instruments.The performers take a stately approach to one of Dvorak's most exciting works, the Quintet Op. 81. They are excellent technically - but the performance didn't stir me. I compared it directly to the old recording by Clifford Curzon and the Budapest Quartet. The Budapest Qt is not really my favorites but, what can you say, these guys bring it when they play the Op. 81. The recording here is not as passionate and drags a bit. The same criticism can be applied to their interpretation of the the Op. 97 Quintet. A solid performance is delivered, but it could be more lively and impassioned. I will note that I prefer the 0p. 97 recording to the one on the Philips double set done by the Berlin Philharmonic players. A middling but solid release. |
