In Reply to: Sibelius non-orchestral music - recommendations? posted by TGR on July 16, 2014 at 08:52:02:
BIS has done a comprehensive job recording all of Sibelius's chamber music. However, except for the String Quartet, Op.56 "Voce Intimae" and the Piano Quintet in G minor, most of the rest is not particularly arresting. I have all of the BIS chamber releases which includes piano trios, piano quartets and several early string quartets and cannot muster much enthusiasm for the music despite convincing performances and recordings. Virtually all of these works are early in his career and don't reflect the mature voice we have come to know via his symphonic output.
