Description: Shostakovich's Piano Quintet is a 1940 composition, written when World War II was looming over the horizon. It is, nonetheless, a melodic, lyrical work that strikes extraordinary balances between each of the strings and the piano. (At least 14 performances of the Piano Quintet are out on CD.) The Piano Trio (1944) is even more popular (25 recordings or more). It's a much grimmer work, however, with the violin playing as close to the bridge as possible. People openly wept at its fourth movement and the work was banned for the duration of the war. Excellent performances and superior recorded sound, typical of Chandos. --Paul Cook We will ALWAYS, AUTOMATICALLY COMBINE SHIPPING on items that do not ship for free.
