Notes and Editorial Reviews
“It is not the form that captures our attention but the twists and turns of the narration. However, it must be added that the ‘novel’ plays out in a highly abstract register. Therefore, it appears inappropriate to search for a concrete programme. After all, Liszt and Wagner did not write chamber music for a reason. The originality of this Polish chamber music masterpiece lies in the ‘amicably incompatible’ combination of classical and Late Romantic traditions.
“But the beauty of the Quintet lies mostly in the music. Against the backdrop of murmuring waves of the piano, the strings sail in a broad unison.” – Marcin Trzesiok
