CD Reviews

No problems here

William S. Young | Towson, MD USA | 12/01/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The reviewer above who rates the performance poorly because his disc cuts off the last movement is in error. There may be a problem with HIS disc but my copy, which I've had for many years, is fine. The last movement of Op. 36 is 8:37 long, just as advertised.

While I slightly prefer the RaphaelEnsemble performance for this piece, I've long admired Hausmusik and they do a superb job here. Don't hesitate to get this disc. Both sound & playing are excellent."
