Nielsen: Quintet,Op.43/Loeffler: Two Rhapsodies/Prokofiev: Quintet, Op.39

Editorial Reviews

Nielsen's Wind Quintet is one of his masterpieces, a profoundly moving musical event that ends with one of the 20th century's great sets of variations. This music belongs in every civilized home. On the other hand, many critics have greater respect than I do for this music by Loeffler; to me it's 24 minutes of wishy-washy pseudo-impressionism that goes in one ear and right out the other. Prokofiev's Quintet does stick in your ear, but in a nagging, insistent way. Nonetheless, this is an intriguingly varied collection, well played by a great collection of musicians and vividly recorded. --Leslie Gerber

5 out of 5 stars Another gem from Chamber Music Northwest.......2000-03-05

For some years sterling chamber music records have been coming out of Seattle. Here's another one. The Nielsen performance is the best I know on record. The Loeffler comes close to the classic recording with oboist John Mack and other Cleveland colleagues, now thankfully available again on Crystal. The Prokofiev, not often recorded, is just right. You can't go wrong.
