Brahms arr. Karttunen etc Reconstructed original version of the Piano Quintet, op.34; Krysia Osostowicz, Ernst Kovacic, Violins; Toccata Classics: TOCC0066 An enterprising disc, with another to follow. Particuarly valuable notes; a musicological document by the distinguished and prolific Malcolm MacDonald. There was a previous reconstruction of the piano quintet string quintet first version, which Karttunen didn't know when making his own very different one. Plenty for study! Fine UK freelancers of the highest calibre. Peter Grahame Woolf
