  • Description

    Christoph Eschenbach reunites with the Paris-based Thymos Quartet in Schubert's popular "Trout" Quintet, a recording that celebrates the 80th birthday of the great pianist / conductor. The album is rounded out by a selection of the composer's folk dances and waltzes in unique chamber music arrangements.

    Christoph Eschenbach reunites with Paris-based Thymos Quartet in Schubert's triumphant chamber work, the "Trout" Quintet, a recording that celebrates the 80th birthday of the great pianist / conductor. From babbling brook and leaping fish, this present-day Schubertiade relocates to a 19th century Viennese salon, with a selection of the composer's waltzes in unique chamber music arrangements and concludes with selected Ländler, performed by pianist Jean-Frédéric Neuburger, ranging in mood from iridescent to intimate.

    CRITICAL ACCLAIM

    "Moments of solace have been hard to come by in such an annus horribilis, so I'm especially grateful for these smiling, tender-hearted performances…Eschenbach's playing in the Trout Quintet sparkles, and the Thymos Quartet are enchanting throughout. A surprisingly potent musical salve." - Gramophone Critic's Choice 2020

    "one of the most delectable performances of the Trout Quintet on record." - Gramophone

    "gorgeous … irresistible … Eschenbach's piano shines … an emotional, romantic disc that is hard to resist" – Fanfare (on Dvorak's Love Songs, Cypresses, Piano Quintet in A major, AV2234)

    "vivid and high-powered … an ensemble of exceptional musical imagination and skill" – Washington Post

    "a magnificent album … a rare example of expressiveness and distinction" – Le Monde (on Dvorak's Love Songs, Cypresses, Piano Quintet in A major, AV2234)
