Schubert: Trout Quintet; Arpeggione & Notturno
: :Schubert's quintet (which gets its name from his song 'The Trout,' used for a set of variations at its apex) is as lighthearted as it is melodious, qualities reflected in this excellent performance. The period-instrument balances are ideal; the fortepiano, less resonant than a modern piano, does not overpower the strings. The arpeggione was an odd, newly invented six-stringed instrument when Schubert wrote for it. The lovely sonata is here played on an obsolete five-stringed instrument, the violoncello piccolo--closer to the original than the modern cello or viola usually heard on ...

Hummel: PIANO TRIOs
: :Usually when you go looking for obscure classical repertoire like Hummel trios, you have to put up with whatever you can get. What a treat it is to hear this music played by the world's best-known trio! These high-voltage performers really have a time with Hummel's expert writing (he was, after all, a pupil of Mozart). They bring out all his forecastings of the Romantic era, and his sense of humor as well. (Wait till you hear them scampering through the finale of Op. 65!) Lovely recorded sound, too. I hope ...
