With Matt's choice from last month of Sibelius 5 still fresh in my mind I chose this to round off my evening's listening....
Recorded in 1955 in mono the recording is wonderful and engaging. Great interpretations and really powerful performances of these two great works.

I've taken 2 hours out to watch a great DVD I found in a charity shop, by the Wihan Quartet:
http://www.wihanquartet.co.uk/pages/recordings.html
not listed here though. It was their 20th Anniversary celebration from the Dvorak Hall in Prague, containing:
Haydn: SQ op73/3 'Emperor'
Dvorak: SQ op96 'American'
Schubert: SQuintet D956
Highly enjoyable evening...

I am getting in training for the listenning project .. I have my piano versions put away so I am getting ready for when we move to the orchestral version.
Quite a good CD -- actually a live performnce [actually edited from two] and only knew it was live when the applause started at the end.
I [probably ??] prefer the piano version.
I also like this version ..
which perhaps we will discuss eventually ...

Kletzki? He was a rather fine Mahlerian. That's looks interesting.

They are really fine performances Seán. Even the mono recordings sound great. It comes with a strong recommendation!
