| |  | Dohnányi: Piano Quintets and Serenade
The Schubert Ensemble of London: William Howard (piano), Mayumi Seiler (violin), Douglas Paterson (viola), Jane Salmon (cello) & Peter Buckoke (double bass) Erno” Dohnányi is the least celebrated of the seminal triumvirate of twentieth-century Hungarian composers; Zoltán Kodály and Béla Bartók have become household names, yet Dohnányi’s posthumous fame hangs upon an unrepresentative handful of compositions. This recording brings together three of his finest chamber works; the two masterful yet hugely contrasting Piano Quintets, and his remarkable essay in that most underutilized of instrumental genres, the string trio. The Serenade in C for string trio falls within the direct lineage of models in the genre by Mozart and Beethoven, yet proves a decisive watershed for Dohnányi himself, fully articulating his nationally infused mature style for the first time. The Piano Quintets reflect an enduring and deep-rooted regard for both Brahms and Schumann, and even Mendelssohn. “Fresh, vital and spirited performances” BBC Music Magazine “Soaring performances … a stunning recording … this disc is easily recommended” Fanfare “This excellent group plays with calm confidence throughout and features some notably silvery violin tone. A delightful disc” Hi-Fi News “A clear three-star recommendation” Penguin Guide | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

“Dohnányi's First Piano Quintet, Op 1, written when the composer was only 18, is a work of abounding confidence and energy that's played here with suitable verve and exuberance. Roscoe and the Vanbrugh Quartet luxuriate in lush, romantic textures in the first movement, and delight in the melodic exchanges of the warmly expressive Adagio. Moreover, their expression of Hungarian flavour, evident in the Scherzo's jaunty cross-rhythms and the engagingly dancelike finale, has considerable charm.
The Second Quintet, written some 19 years later, shows a striking advance in technique.
Sensitive evocation of atmosphere in the first movement by Roscoe and the Vanbrugh Quartet highlights both Dohnányi's more searching harmonic language and his remarkably fresh and imaginative approach to form.
The performers deftly blend the Intermezzo's faintly Viennese character with the flamboyant toccata material, and the final movement's fusion of slow movement and finale is ingeniously turned from sombre minor to radiant major. Both the quintets display Dohnányi's considerable pianistic skills; the Suite in the OldStyle being a highly effective display of the composer's parody of Baroque keyboard techniques.
Roscoe's evident sympathy for his music contributes to this arrestingly persuasive account, which fully exploits the work's rich variety of style and technique.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | |
