Takacs Quartet / Hamelin,Marc-Andre Dohnanyi: Piano Quintets Nos.1 & 2, String Quartet CD

The celebrated partnership of Marc-Andr? Hamelin and the Takcs Quartet has already set down reference recordings of piano quintets by Schumann, Franck and Shostakovich, and this latest addition is equally illustrious. These performances of Dohnnyi's Piano Quintets Nos.1 and 2 alongside his String Quartet No.2, are an important milestone in the critical reevaluation of the composer's work.
