"The (Piano Quintet No. 1) is tuneful, melodious, memorable and easily accessible ... 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 ... Claves has certainly done these works proud."
- MusicWeb International
The multiple award-winning Swiss chamber ensemble Trio Nota Bene is joined by guest violinist Shmuel Ashkenasi and violist Nobuko Imai on two quintets composed by Ernő Dohnányi almost 20 years apart. He wrote the Piano Quintet No. 1 when he was only 18, yet it displays close to the same maturity as his second quintet, written at the age of 37.
