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 **** |

When the Budapest Quartet came to record The 'Trout' Quintet at the beginning of the 1950s, the ensemble
had reached a rare level of excellence. It was by no means Hungarian: based in an American town, it was
made up of four Russian musicians influenced by an essentially Germanic style of performing and who were
self-confessed admirers of a famous French quartet!
The following recording documents the combination of core repertoire with an ensemble that was at the
zenith of quartet artistry, played on the exceptional Stradivarius instruments to which the 'quartet in residence'
of theWashington Congress Library had access to from the end of the 1920s, courtesy ofthe
Gertrude ClarkeWhittall foundation.
The rhythmic stringency, phrasing and faultless musicianship of the Budapest Quartet are evident and demonstrate
an important tradition, upheld from its creation in 1917 until its break-up in 1967.A redefinition of
what chamber music is all about. |
