This album features compositions by Rimsky-Korsakov, Berwald, and Beethoven, highlighting their contributions to chamber music. Rimsky-Korsakov’s Piano Quintet in B-flat Major, written in 1876 for a Russian music competition, blends Beethovenian influences with distinctive wind cadenzas and a vibrant piano part. Berwald’s Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, composed in 1819, is a youthful work that combines lyrical charm with energetic passages, reflecting the Swedish composer’s unique style. Beethoven’s Quintet in E-flat Major, Op. 16, composed in 1796, draws inspiration from Mozart’s quintet and showcases a dynamic interplay between the piano and wind instruments, marked by moments of grandeur and intimacy. The performances by Eva Knardahl and the Gothenburg Wind Quintet capture the elegance and innovation of these works, demonstrating their lasting appeal in the chamber music repertoire.
