[The new erato]

I'm far more in favor of Vals list which is nearly perfect for me. Pity room couldn't be found for Shatakovich and Nielsen though.

mozart clarinet qnt
schubert qnt in c

brahms cl. qnt

neilsen ww qnt

bloch piano qnt. no1
piston piano qnt

petterson concerto no1 for violin and str qrt!!!!!!!!

denisov piano qnt

woo...for me it gets kinda hairy after this, back and forth. string? piano? wind? uh uh....too many choices!!! harp, flute, and str. trio?

[some guy]

No mention of Prokofiev's quintet, yet. (I guess I could have waited for a bit so that Karl or Mark could offer this one, but I just didn't. Has what has to be the coolest one pitch clarinet lick ever.) Ligeti has a couple of nice wind quintets floating around somewhere, too. There's a "pretty" one and there's a beautiful one that repays repeated listenings at a higher interest rate. (Don't misunderstand--the six bagatelles are very nice. The ten pieces are nicer, that's all.)

[snyprrr]

practically any cd of american wind qnts.

barber
fine
carter
persichetti
berger
schuller
piston...etc

and normally, then there are the cds which offer

ligeti
kurtag
carter
perle
donatoni
sciarrino
francesconi
berio.....ah, the italians!

and the french

francaix
bozza
ibert

and the big three

hindemith
janacek
neilsen
villa lobos

i have enjoyed malipero's dialogue also


for some reason, wind qnt + piano combo never appealed to me- poulenc, magnard, caplet....

3 favourite piano quintets by

Leo Ornstein
Nikolai Medtner
Ernest Bloch (no.1)

Here's the first movement of the Ornstein - it's an Allegro barbaro.

There are two.

three, i.e. the two piano quintets, and the quintet with double bass op 97.

[snyprrr]

is anyone familiar with

ALLAN PETTERSSON Concerto No.1 for violin and string quartet? (1949)

it is becoming my favorite mid-century chamber work.
