"The excellence of the audio quality is a distinguishing feature of this recording. The sound is bathed in a clear, warm acoustic conferring a palpable sense of intimacy. The engineers have achieved an ideal balance between the instrumentalists, who deliver intelligent and polished performances. Indeed, they prove worthy advocates of these marvellous but sadly neglected scores. Shmuel Ashkenasi and Nobuko Imai make sympathetic soulmates to the Trio Nota Bene. Claves has certainly done these works proud."

Swiss ensemble Trio Nota Bene is joined by violinist Shmuel Ashkenasi and violist Nobuko Imai on this recording of Ernő Dohnányi's very first published work, his Piano Quintet No. 1 from 1895, paired here with his second and final piano quintet, published almost 20 years later.
