I received this SACD a few days ago and having listened to it a few times
I can clearly say that it is a stunning disc. The music remind me of some of Brahms chamber music, thus very accessible, it is inventive, quite complex but a real joy to listen to.
The cherry on the cake is the audio quality, it is one of the best recording I have heard full stop. The tonal quality of the instruments
is so perfect, the acoustic of the recording venue is also present but\not overdone. Now how can a composer like Raff be so neglected?? I see that their is a RBCD of his piano quintets also available from the same label
(Divox) and I have placed my order, pity it is not on SACD but I am sure it will be good.
