Yeah! splendid, wonderful, tonality and dynamism sensibility is so beautiful and graceful. Concert Mistress Jansen well done at best, Oh! much more beautiful lady, especially her bowing articulation is so clear. Piano, Viola, Cello part is veryvery nice melody and rhythm touch (91yrs. Japanese) sorry strange English. Anyway this music is beautiful music.

[@Praetoriusify]

Wow, the pianissimo from the pianist at 22:00. Exquisite. What a beautiful instrument. Great timbre.

[@pauldeck4500]

Jansen is such a glittering virtuoso that she tends to steal the stage. But make no mistake: All these players are among the best anywhere. In particular I always seem to gravitate to chamber performances with Brovtsyn and I am grateful to be introduced to Amihai Grosz, whose tone and vibrato made a huge difference in this piece which has a lot of lovely highlights in the viola.

[@gimletrose1985]

Amihi is my favorite 😍

[@urmorph]

kinda good, isn't he? I've heard him called The Viola King, and that seems ok to me. Incidentally, in English it's usual to say "violist." Personally, I prefer not to called a "piano player;" that sounds like I work late nights in bars. Of course you don't come across many violists in bars, at least not with their instruments. But a lot of folks would be delighted to treat Amihai to a libation whenever he comes to Boston. And that invitation stands for his colleagues, too.

[@DrQuizzler]

I just swung by to revisit the first few bars of the Scherzo, but what can I say? It's Dvořák!! I couldn't pass up a chance to enjoy the whole thing. Wonderful playing and balance amongst all players. Interesting to watch the visual stoicism of the cellist in contrast to the sheer drama and playfulness of the first violinist's expressions underscoring the moods of each passage. Each player led masterfully as Dvořák gave them their moments. Great stuff. I'LL BE WAITING for the next one!! 😉

Escucho dos o tres horas diarias de buena música y hacía mucho tiempo que no escuchaba un obra de cámara con una interpretación tan maravillosa como la de Janine Jansen, Vogt, Brovtsyn, Grosz y Maintz. Cada uno en su parte y en perfecta conjunción, han debido alegrar indeciblemente a Antonin Dvořák, porque es sencillamente perfecta, en pasión y técnica, la respuesta a la inspiradísima partitura de Dvořák, que es uno de los mejores quintetos de la historia. Adicionalmente, gozo viendo cómo el rostro y la postura de Janine Jansen reflejan su plena identificación con la obra que está haciendo. Aplausos de media hora por mi parte. Sólo con esto, el Festival de Utrecht se habría ya justificado plenamente.

[@jchavens6221]

Thank you,Dvorak and friends, for helping me get through this pandemic.

I played this piece today along with six other players. It was wonderful. We doubled up the violins, so it was seven people in total. Thinking about doing this piece as a concert at my university.

[@Praetoriusify]

The Umělecká beseda (artistic club) organized a ceremonial meeting in honor of Tchaikovsky, in 1888 in Prague, at which Dvořák's Piano Quintet in A major, Op. 81 was performed. Tchaikovsky praised it in his diary. On January 7, 1888, Tchaikovsky and Dvořák visited the Prague premiere of Verdi's Othello together at the National Theater. During the farewell at the station, the two composers presented each other with printed scores of their compositions: Tchaikovsky received Dvořák's 4th Symphony in D minor, and Dvořák received Tchaikovsky's Suite No. 3 in G major, Op. 55.

[@vKarl71]

I'm very grateful for these Avrotros recordings & enjoy them very much but I find that those for this chamber festival have some balance problems. In this one the piano is definitely too low in the mix.

[@TheChristianfischer]

It seems to me that's better the piano remains low in this record. Top often an overseized piano sound perturbs the balance in a chamber music interprétation.

You'd find thousands of people like me teaching at US universities, including several Nobel laureates in economics, medicine, etc., and most of them acquired their English here. It's also the benefit of a pseudo British education as a lingering legacy of the caste system - our own equivalent of white privilege. Not in terms of wealth - I am quite working class, yet societal privilege. We have our own garbage show - just that our politicians are more corrupt and less accountable.

C est une pièce magnifique, avec des musiciens excellents. Cependant, et c est difficile à expliquer, j ai l impression qu' il y a une sorte de déséquilibre entre le son du piano et celui des cordes, notamment dans les aigus forts, joués par le piano. J ai l impression que l acoustique de la salle correspond bien au jeu des cordes , mais pas à celui du piano, ou bien, c est à cause de l enregistrement. Mais enfin, ça reste très très beau. Bravo.

[@TheChristianfischer]

Le plus souvent dans les enregistrements d'oeuvres de musique de chambre le piano écrase littéralement le son des cordes. J'apprécie la discrétion sonore du clavier dans cette fort belle interprétation du quintette de Dvorak.

@@TheChristianfischer oui , certainement. Cependant j ai écouté bien d autres interprétations de cette magnifique pièce, et je ne retrouve pas cette impression que je note dans mon premier commentaire.
