The celebrated partnership of pianist Marc-André Hamelin and the Takács Quartet has already set down reference recordings of piano quintets by Schumann, Franck, and Shostakovich, and this latest addition is equally illustrious. These performances of Dohnányi’s Piano Quintets Nos. 1 and 2, alongside his String Quartet No. 2, are an important milestone in the critical reevaluation of the composer’s work.
