Yes, this Schumann Piano Quintet was an excellent performance, I thought - I hope jlw and others who enjoy early Romantic HIP get to listen. In comparison to Gaia Scienza and Michelangelo recordings, the Consone are significantly more HIP, I'd say: distinctly less vibrato, and a lot more portamento.
Tomorrow’s Schubert Quintet should be well worth a listen too: I heard them playing this a couple of months ago in a video stream from York - also very impressive.

The presenter of today’s lunchtime concert has just told us something I believed to be impossible: Diabelli inviting Mozart to compose a variation on his waltz, despite the latter having rested in his grave for 28 years.

Mr Lu is a wonderful pianist and free from the Lang Lang tendency to over-interpret the music and the urge to play everything as fast and flashily as possible. His playing and interpretations take me back to pianists of earlier generations like Kempff and Curzon. The recent recital of French music played by Steven Osborne and Paul Lewis is another example of a playing style that appeals to me.
