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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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, 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 ...

Very fine live performance.
A lovely performance. The opening movement played at a stately tempo which indulges the solo lines. A fantastic piece. I practiced with this CD and a supermute to prepare for reading it with friends next weekend.

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 ...

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. ...

Just a "heads up!"
I just want to warn anyone as brain-dead as I turned out to be that the recordings of the 3 string quartets included here are exactly the same recordings contained in Brahms: The String Quartets/Dvorak: Quartet, Op. 96. D'oh! They are very good recordings, of ...

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 ...

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 ...
