Piano Quintet, Op. 57 & Piano Trio No. 2, Op. 67

Dmitri Shostakovich

Nash Ensemble

1990 Excellent recording quality.

Gil's top choice for both works. They 'really dig into the music.' A 'perfect way to get to know both these works.'

Sviatoslav Richter / Borodin Quartet

early 80s Live recording, slightly noisy. (Piano Quintet only)

A very powerful interpretation of the Piano Quintet.

Dmitri Shostakovich / Beethoven Quartet

1955 Fairly clear sound. (Piano Quintet only)

A really powerful version of the Piano Quintet with the composer himself at the piano. A great, iconic chamber music recording.
