About

New recordings from the Goldner String Quartet are always a treat. Here, once again, they are joined by Piers Lane for the intriguing Bruch Piano Quintet; also performed are his youthful String Quartet No.1 and a catchy set of Swedish Dances for violin and piano.

Reviews

It’s given a spirited performance here by Piers Lane and the Goldners, who add the Brahmsian String Quartet No 1 in C minor. And in a joyful burst of melody, first violinist Dene Olding joins Lane for the beguiling Swedish Dances…  Stephen Pritchard
