Leon Fleisher is among the most revered pianists of his generation. His grace, intelligence, and wide-ranging musical imagination are the hallmark of a storied career that spans over sixty years and encompasses Fleisher’s pursuits as a pianist, conductor, and teacher. All of these qualities are in ample evidence here.

Brahms’s Quintet is indeed a great work, showing what we must call the definitive face of Brahms. Not only a new epoch in Brahms’s creative life, but also a new stage in chamber music was reached here -- and the direct appeal of this exciting and moving composition to all music lovers, after one century, is still increasing.

Except for Chopin and Liszt, no other composers have done so much to expand the resources of the piano as the two whose works appear on this album. Contemporaries and friends, keenly responsive to the cultural cross currents of their time, it is impossible not to note the cross fertilization that enriched the art of both Debussy and Ravel.

There is none of the sparkling passage work here of the kind associated with Mozart's chamber works and concertos and the pianistic effects are subordinated to the special style of these pieces. Consequently, they were underrated by the general public for a long time. Today, we begin to appreciate their delicate lyricism and to do justice to these fragile masterpieces.

All four are definitely American composers in the works here presented, though not specifically through use of folklore material. The spirit is American. Something in the essence of the music recalls the best of American modern poetry and modern philosophy.
