  • Description

    Chamber music fans have long awaited this MDG reissue bringing together two standard-setting recordings of Philipp
    Scharwenka's chamber music.

    These CDs created a sensation when they were first
    released but disappeared from the catalogue many years ago. The press wrote that the recording of his piano trios by the Trio Parnassus offered "an absolutely addictive combination," while the Mannheim String Quartet was said to convey "ideal balance between expression and structure."

    Two CDs, packed with chamber music, re-released at a special price, and including an encore: the Violoncello Sonata, performed with feeling and flair by Michael Groß and Chia Chou of the Trio Parnassus. This is late romantic
    filigree work that goes straight to the heart and is
    guaranteed to delight audiophile chamber music fans.
