CD Reviews

The best Franck Piano Quintet in years.

Stephen Grabow | Lawrence, Kansas | 06/21/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a tough work to pull off, trying to find the right balance between restraint and explosiveness while maintaining the lyrical line. The Schubert Ensemble of London, by doing just that, achieve the best Franck Piano Quintet in years. If you find the Richter/Borodin version too plodding and slightly abrasive in the violins, or if you find the Curzon/Amadeus version too thick, this new version will satisfy. It has a very fine forward impulse, a great sense of lyricism and manages to clarify the intense chromatic textures of this amazing work."
