The Berlin Philharmonic String Quintet has become one of the best ensembles in its field, gaining a world-wide reputation. Here they give a sublime interpretation of Dvořák's String Quintet. It was recorded in the small hall of the Muziekgebouw in Eindhoven, which gives the ideal combination of intimacy and sonority for small string ensembles.
"The Berlin Philharmonic Quintet performs superbly. The first movement has just the right sense of understatement, while they bring credible depth and vocal expressiveness to the slow movement. They develop an appropriately epic feeling in the finale, with its almost Sibelian first theme...The remaining two works on this slender issue are also, for the most part, beautifully judged."
