This is the second of two Naxos releases (Volume 1 is available on 8.110306) devoted to the complete studio recordings of the British pianist Clifford Curzon with the Budapest Quartet. Recognised as one of the great, ‘aristrocratic’ interpreters of the classical and romantic repertoire, Curzon was one of many fine artists who worked with the Budapest Quartet. Despite a stormy history, with several changes of personnel, the Quartet maintained a high standard for half a century, as can be heard in these classic performances of two masterpieces of the genre, Johannes Brahms’ Piano Quintet in F minor and Antonín Dvořák’s Piano Quintet in A major.
