[ DG The Originals / 2 CD ]
Release Date: Tuesday 19 April 2005
1001 Classical recordings to hear before you die (1761-1800) - The Amadeus' 1960s recordings of the String Quintets are now reissued on 2 CDs compared with the 3 they occupied in the DG Chamber Music series. The bargain is obvious when compared to most rivals. The Amadeus, joined as usual for quintets by Cecil Aronowitz, have always been considered among the most successful exponents of this repertoire.
