The Piano Quintet and Sextet are Pfitzner’s largest chamber works; the Piano Quintet Op. 23 is in the traditional instrumentation for piano and string quartet but the Sextet Op. 55 is scored for an unusual ensemble of piano, clarinet, violin, viola, violoncello and double bass.
The ensemble Ulf Hoelscher have here created an exemplary, stylistically illuminating recording which is a great addition to the CPO catalogue.
