Bela Bartok:
Piano Quintet in C major, Sz23
Erich Wolfgang Korngold:
Piano Quintet in E major, Op. 15

Youthful piano quintets from Korngold the arch-Romantic and Bartók in his pre-modernist vein make a fascinating comparison. This album offers a snapshot of early twentieth-century Austro-Hungarian chamber music as represented by two of its most individual voices.
