BBC Legends, 1999 Infectious live performances from some old hands Clifford Curzon and the Amadeus Quartet were staples of the London music scene for many years--the quartet persisted without a change in personnel for forty years. These live BBC recordings were made in Royal Festival Hall, known for its poor acoustics. The 1974 Brahms ...             Schubert: Trout Quintet, Death and the Maiden / Amadeus Quartet Franz Schubert, Norbert Brainin, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1997 Interpretative solvency! The main virtue of Emil Gilels as colossal pianist was always ironically his main failure: his extreme coldness. But when he played with the Amadeus quartet, something inside him seemed to bright with radiant intensity and his temperament showed us his Dionysian side, ...             Johannes Brahms: Quartet for Piano & Strings Martin Lovett, Johannes Brahms, ... Sony, 1990 Brahms, Amadeus and Perahia at their best I cannot praise this disc high enough. First of all, the music itself is one of Brahms's finest chamber music works, and it is presented here in an astonishing version. The interplay between pianist and string players is absolutely stunning for its precision, coherence ...             For a Stormy Night Jules Eskin, Martin Lovett, ... Decca, 2003 Splendid accompaniment to a storm... This is to rainy weather...lightning and thunder and all...what the soundtrack to Fantasia is to that movie. This is not all calm music to relax to but brilliant, passionate recordings with all the peaks and lulls of a storm...another kind of soundtrack, if you will. ...             Brahms: Piano Quartet, Ballades / Amadeus Quartet Martin Lovett, Johannes Brahms, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 Absolutely Wonderful Stuff This recording of the Piano Quartet Opus 25 is one of the best. Full of vigor, passion, and power. The piano and strings are matched in their conception of a big tone even in the quiet passages. You can hear many different interpretations of this work, but I don't ...             Brahms: The String Quartets/Dvorak: Quartet, Op. 96 Martin Lovett, Johannes Brahms, ... Dg Imports, 1998 WELCOME BACK There is no Amadeus Quartet any more, so this reissue is welcome for that reason alone. At the outset I ought to say that they omit the first movement repeats in all four works. This is a matter of indifference to me, but some may wish to read no further. Apart from ...             Brahms: Quintets; Sextets (Opp.18 - 34 - 36 - 88 - 111 - 115) Martin Lovett, William Pleeth, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1990 Old wine HAS matured.................... I am indeed surprised that there is only one review for such a masterly work. Do not go by the year that it has been perfromed in because it is better than most modern recordings, I agree with the reviewer before me that the clarinet quintet is really good but, i would ...             String Quartets opp. 76; 77; 103 Franz Joseph Haydn, Amadeus Quartet, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2002 Lovely This is an excellent set of the late Haydn quartets. Modestly priced like many reissues of older recordings, this is an audio to digital transfer of recordings made quite a few years ago. The sound quality is not quite as sharp as modern digital recordings but this ...             Complete Beethoven Edition, Vol. 14: Misc. Chamber Works Andre Sennedat, Milan Turkovic, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1997 The "Unknown" Beethoven... I think it would not be wrong to say that most casual listeners of classical music know Beethoven mostly by his orchestral works--the symphonies, piano concertos, violin concerto, and overtures. Those who go a little deeper might know him by the piano sonatas, violin ...             Brahms: String Sextet No. 1 Johannes Brahms, Alban Berg Quartett, ...

Sony, 1997 Genius In short: This set contanes not only a stunnig pianism but also highly interesting works (some of which I had no idea of how beutiful are). Listen to the German Dances by Mozart, Out of Doors by Bartók, the Berg and Tippet. His Rachmaninov is interesting but I find ...             Chamber Music Favorites J. Edward Meret, Adrian Beers, ... Angel Records, 1997 Seriously mis-listed! Errr...since when are the Mozart Clarinet Quintet or the Schubert Trout Quintet "Booty Club Classics?" I'm just curious as to how this ended up like this. Haven't heard this particular recording, so I can't actually comment on it.
