Chamber Music - your best pick.


Be it the solo, duets, trios, quartets or quintets.
What is/are your favorite(s) in this gener?
What are your recommendations - classical, romantic or 20th century composers.

Most played lately in my system is Shostakovich String Quartets.
Others that get a lot of playing time are Brahms, Dvorak and Schubert.

Would like to check out something new that I haven't heard before. I was looking to pick up some Elgar string quartet and piano quintet next. Any other recommendations? Thanks.

The Shostakovich quartets are among my favorites too. Try the St Lawrence Quartet recording of 3,7,&8. Outstanding!

I also really enjoy the Klenke Quartett recordings of the late Mozart Quartets are very worthwhile.

Finally, the Beethoven piano trios are a joy.
