Reviews

Beethoven: Ideal chamber music-making in this version by Walter Gieseking and members of the Philharmonia Wind [...]. Recorded in 1955, it has few rivals in tonal blend and perfection of balance and ensemble. The mono sound comes up wonderfully fresh in this Testament transfer.

The Mozart Quintet is one of the classic chamber-music recordings of all time. Gieseking and members of the Philharmonia Wind (Dennis Brain, Sidney Sutcliffe, Bernard Walton and Cecil James) recorded it over 40 years ago, and in terms of tonal blend and perfection of balance and ensemble it has few rivals.
