About
Two of the great piano quintets ever composed played by a superb quintet of musicians headed by Lars Vogt and Christian Tetzlaff. Two piano quintets, two very different works. Excellent performances recorded live at the Spannungen Festival 2007.

March 2009
Lars Vogt is equally subtle and acutely penetrating in Schumann and Elgar… Teztlaff and his fellow strings have almost ideal tone and expressive touch in the first-movement second theme of the Schumann, but at the equivalent point in the Elgar tension and understanding flag temporarily.
May 2009
The opening of Elgar's Piano Quintet is one of his most extraordinary utterances. In the right hands, it can pack a real emotional punch, its anguish conveyed via the most sparing of means. And that is certainly the case in this live recording… This starry line-up well captures the work's ambiguity and the players aren't afraid to reveal its darkness where others... glory more in its Brahmsian antecedents.
