Schubert - Piano Quintet 'Trout'

Schubert - Piano Quintet "Trout"

Mozart:

Piano Quartet No. 2 in E flat major, K493

Mozart’s piano quartet in E-flat major is the piece which established the piano quartet as a winning instrumental combination

Schubert:

Piano Quintet in A major, D667 'The Trout'

Schubert’s quintet in A Major, D.667 “The Trout”, was composed in 1819 when Schubert was 22 years old. The piece is known as the Trout because the fourth movement is a set of variations on Schubert's earlier Lied "Die Forelle" (The Trout)

Pinchas Zukerman (violin), Jethro Marks (viola), Amanda Forsyth (cello), Joel Quarrington (double bass), Yefim Bronfman (piano)

“The pianist Bronfman joins the Zukerman Chamber Players (violinist Pinky plus three young Canadians) for an excursion into the rural idyll of Schubert’s Trout Quintet. The irresistible swing that they generate comes from deep within the core of their bright sound. The slowings at cadences are of one mind, and you’re swept along by the andante’s pendulum dialogue and the bouncing repeated notes of the scherzo. The Trout Variations are the height of gentility until fury erupts as the fish is caught. The jaunty finale, each long note an elegant springboard dive, suggests that he leaps free. The shared engine also drives Mozart’s Piano Quartet in E flat K493 in a performance that sounds nothing but fun.” The Times, 27th June 2008 ****
