This Piano Quintet is a work before his style became avant-garde. The entire work is lyrical and romantic, reminiscent of Brahms and Rachmaninoff.\n\nCésar Franck (1822-90) is not well known for his chamber music, but his best works are concentrated in his later years. The Piano Quintet is one of them, written in the \"cyclic form,\" in which the same melody is used throughout, a characteristic of his later works.\n\nIn both pieces, there are many passages in which the piano leads the string quartet. In this performance, too, Sally Pincus on piano plays an active role and enlivens the performance. The result is extremely well-balanced, including the recording. The Apple Hill String Quartet is a string quartet selected from 300 participants in the Summer Workshop at the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music in Nelson, New Hampshire.\n\nTobu Shoji Co.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Msr Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51435788599585,"sku":"681585181522","price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/681585181522.jpg?v=1751292632","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ca\/products\/681585181522","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
