This unique collection features a representative selection of early Romantic piano quintets, ranging from the astronomically popular Trout Quintet by Schubert to lesser known works from Hummel, Ries, Cramer, Limmer, Dussek, and Onslow. The beautiful recordings by the Nepomuk Fortepiano Quartet capture the central qualities of the Romantic piano quintet and bring to life the warm timbres, fluid melodies, virtuosity, and drama of the genre. Music that is particularly deserving of rediscovery.
