Piano Quintet in A major, D. 667 'Trout'

Franz Schubert

Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass

Mieczyslaw Horszowski / Budapest Quartet (members)

1960 Pretty good sound.

Gil's top recommendation. A really loving interpretation that emanates joy and love for the music. A lush romantic interpretation, but not heavy.

Clifford Curzon / Vienna Octet (members)

1957 Very present sound, but a little bit of hiss.

The proverbial 'classic of all classics' for the Trout. They bring that Viennese elegance and musical taste.

Rudolf Serkin / Marlboro Festival Ensemble

late 60s

A group of friends getting together for the love of music. Serkin does a wonderful job on the piano. Pretty clear recording.
