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: 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 ...
  
  











  



  
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: Complete String Quartets, Quintets & Sextets [Box Set]
Karl Leister, Johannes Brahms, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003

The Beauty of Brahms"Chamber Music
Ok, I am going to admit that I purchased this cd boxed set because I truly enjoy chamber music. There is a simplicity and beauty inherent to music played by a select few. Please don't misunderstand me, I enjoy all forms of classical music. Still-trios, quartets, and ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...
  
  











  



  
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, ...

Brahms: Piano Quintet / Schubert: "Trout" Quintet - Amadeus String Quartet / Clifford Curzon
Johannes Brahms, Franz Schubert, ...

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 ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...
  
  











  



  
Schubert: "Trout" Quintet; "Death and the Maiden" Quartet
Josef Merz, Martin Lovett, ...

Polygram Records, 1990

Wonderful performances
The performances on this release are classics from the early stereo age and deserve to be heard and appreciated by anyone interested in music. The two works are rather different in mood and nature, so I guess the overall idea binding them together is the fact that they ...
  
  











  



  
25th Anniversary Edition
Graham Sheen, Martin Lovett, ...

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 ...
  
  











  



  
A Great Panorama of Classical Music
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Antonio Vivaldi, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2000

Panorama of Deutsche Grammophon twin-sets
Deutsche Grammophon's GREAT PANORAMA OF CLASSICAL MUSIC was a double-disc sampler issued in 2000 to promote their then-brand new series of 50 twin-CD sets. Some random titles: MUSIC FROM THE MOVIES DANCES OF THE RENAISSANCE FESTIVE BAROQUE The majority are ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...
