lovely flute quintets, December 28, 2009
This review is from: Romberg: Flute Quintets 1-3, Op. 41 (Audio CD)
I was pleasantly surprised by these quintets. They are creative and expertly played. The sound quality is excellent. All the instruments are recorded very clearly. The musicians have a natural felicity for this music. I had never heard them before and now play them regularly. You will enjoy them as well if you like the classical period. As the back of the CD states: "Admired by Haydn and at one time a colleague of the young Beethoven, Romberg was a prolific composer...brilliantly elaborated and expressively condensed four movement compositions, illustrate the freshness of Romberg's musical language, with its use of dance movements and variations on well-known melodies..." You will not regret this purchase, especially at this low price. If you like these, you will also enjoy his string quartets on the MDG label, vol.2, by the Leipziger String Quartet.
