About

Hummel, Onslow and Dussek were contemporaries of Beethoven (1770-1827) but they shared another characteristic: all three were piano virtuosos who composed.

The Nepomuk (the second name of Hummel) Fortepiano Quintet is so called because of their expertise in performing music of the classical period on original instruments. The ensemble consists of piano, two violins, viola, cello and double bass. This unusual combination is similar to the one Schubert later used for his Trout Quintet. The three quintets on this CD have a classical form and have a pleasant optimism in common. Extremely clear, sparkling and contagious performances are given by this Dutch ensemble.
