Got to know the Sibelius P Quintet via BIS Essential Sibelius box. A student work which the composer later rejected as rubbish. You can hear Brahms, Franck, Chausson, Liszt etc in there - a bit of a melange (I get some jolly skipping Percy Grainger in the Andante). Worth 40 minutes of anyone's life in my view.

I'm intrigued, but perhaps not to the extent of £12 or so.
And why not anyway? The piano is fairly obviously a modern instrument with all the power that brings, so very different from the HIPP versions with fortepianos discussed earlier - which I would also strongly recommend. I would recommend this CD very highly despite its "non-authentic" credentials.
I am less happy about the Dohnanyi work though, some of the mood of the piece seems to have gone with the orchestrated version - can't put my finger on it - must listen more. Maybe I'll change my mind in a while.
PS: Bought as used for £6.24 via am.uk shipped from GA USA.Last edited by Dave2002; 04-03-18, 10:25.
