These works underline his wish to 'escape' from the solo piano, now 'too restricted' for his overflowing imagination, as he told Clara. The Piano Quintet, which made a powerful impression on Wagner, is probably one of his most sophisticated works, into which Schumann poured all the creative energy he derived from meticulous examination of similar works by his predecessors, especially Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Schubert. These performances by the Jerusalem Quartet and pianist Alexander Melnikov focus on the introspective nature of these gems of the Romantic period. Review A stunning Elizabethan tribute to Nick Drake. Joel Frederiksen is joined by the Ensemble Phoenix Munich to pay more than fitting tribute to the late British troubadour Nick Drake. The initial buzz of Drake's work was good but nothing overwhelming. Some thirty nine years later we have a release receiving world wide acclaim and justifiably so. Hearing these baroque pieces, with Gregorian texts next to Road or Which Will is a testament to the brilliance of Frederiksen, few true artists would have dared to take such an incredible roll of the musical dice and wind up with results that border on stunning. --Critical Jazz I seriously doubt that I will hear another recording this year which will come close to matching the power and grace Requiem for a Pink Moon. If there is such a thing as a flawless album, this Requiem is certainly it. --Seattle Post Intellilgencer Captivating and sincere, Frederiksen never strays near to pastiche or kitsch: this is an exhilarating re-imagination in a period adaptation of uncanny aptness. Not to be missed. --La Scena Musicale Product details Manufacturer HARMONIA MUNDI Original Release Date 2012 Label HARMONIA MUNDI Country of Origin France Number of discs 1 Good condition - former library ownership with library markings/labels, plays well on our equipment
