Piano Quintet in E-flat major, Op. 44
Robert Schumann
Piano, String Quartet
Beaux-Arts Trio
mid-70s Coupled with the Piano Quartet.Gil's top choice. Very well recorded, beautifully played, and everything is beautifully judged. A great way to get both works.
Victor Aller / Hollywood String Quartet
1955 Mono recording. A little rough sounding.The interpretation is just wonderful and engaging. They have that romantic repertoire in their bones.
Arthur Rubinstein / Guarneri Quartet
1966 Fairly clear stereo.The proverbial aristocratic interpretation. It has nobility, beauty of phrasing, power, and drama. Just gorgeous.
