5.0 out of 5 stars A WINTER'S TALE, 4 Jun 2002
By 
DAVID BRYSON (Glossop Derbyshire England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Elgar: String Quartet - Piano Quintet (Audio CD)
Very well recorded this, and at the price an outstanding bargain.

Considering their stature, these late and deeply characteristic pieces do not seem to be recorded very much. Both of them, particularly the quintet, seem to me even finer than the violin sonata that he wrote at around the same time, and I thought myself lucky to find so easily on one CD
performances worthy of my LP versions by the Claremont in the quartet and Ogdon and the Allegri in the quintet. To judge by broadcast versions that I have heard, the quintet seems to be a difficult work to bring off successfully -- the piano writing tends to sound square and awkward. Not so from Ogdon, not so from Donohoe. If pushed to a choice, my vote would probably still go to Ogdon and the Allegri for a slightly greater sense of impetus in the first movement, but nobody looking for a current version need hesitate about getting this one, especially if they want to hear a great soulful Elgarian climax in the slow movement -- a great moment on this record. In the quartet again the Maggini strike me as 'just right' and certainly as a thoroughly recommendable version for anyone just getting to know the piece. The Clarement version does not seem to be available now, and it is notable for a very adventurous account of the slow movement, taken at a very flowing tempo indeed. I have always reacted particularly positively to this performance which among other things recalls strongly the movement's obvious source of inspiration -- the marvellous andante of Brahms's A minor quartet. However the tempo the composer indicated is 'poco andante', and the Claremont give it at something more like 'molto andante', so while I still recommend collectors to keep a lookout in the hope that it will be reissued it may not be right for everyone.

The booklet gives some picturesque Lovecraftian detail about ghostly trees haunted by impious monks and whatnot. While I am glad to know all this, it never crosses my mind as I listen to pure music of this order. What does cross my mind is how well the finale negotiates the familiar late-romantic minefield of 'cyclical form' -- sc. bringing back themes from an earlier movement. Brahms's third symphony has a lot a lot to answer for here when I think of some of the shuddersome finales that picked up on the device. This one is lovely, resigned and autumnal, not quite Elgar's last musical word but getting on that way, and rendered here with a touching understanding that has more to say to me than any ghostly legends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent performance of an excellent work, 20 Jan 2001
By 
Robert Tooze (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Elgar: String Quartet - Piano Quintet (Audio CD)
Unaware of any works by Elgar for string quartet or piano quintet, I heard this first on Shiela Hancock's Desert Island Discs and thank her for the introduction. To me it is inspirational; a dreamy evocation of the early years of the twentieth century, though both pieces were written just after the First World War. In particular the start of the first movement of the piano quintet could be a delightful self-contained piece on its own.

The Maggini Quartet give a fine performance that on this CD is super value

5.0 out of 5 stars Elgar sounding more English than ever., 26 Sep 2011

This really is pastoral Elgar and everything here only enhances his musical prowess. Wonderfully played, this is a scenic trip through rural England. Close your eyes and just drift away.
