Reviews
While I wouldn't go as far as one of the reviewers below and say that the performance of Schumann's Piano Quintet on this album is the best out there, it certainly is one fantastic recording. This also holds true for the Dvorak, even though I can relate to the criticism in the other review below. Both recordings took place during a career change of Rubinstein, when the maestro focused less on solo or concerto recordings, but more on chamber music performances. A lot of these were done with the Guarneri Quartet, which back then was still at the beginning of its career. Rubinstein performs as an equal and doesn't try to push things or be in the spotlight. It feels as if a real quintet is performing, not a quartet with a piano player. hanswurst
