Bartok:
Piano Quintet C Major Sz. 23

Dohnanyi:
Piano Quintet No. 2 E flat Minor Op. 26

The disc presents two quintets for piano and string quartet by two distinguished Hungarian composers from the 20th century: Bela Bartok and Ernst von Dohnanyi. While Bartok’s Piano Quintet is an outstanding juvenilia, Dohnanyi’s sophisticated work represents its author at its best.
