I do not normally wax poetic and enthusiastic about Chamber Music, but this Ensemble is so fantastically superb, that it is difficult not to become exuberant in their praise.
This "Quintet plus 1" sounds like an entire orchestra. Each member is a miraculous performer in his/her own right and the above mentioned soloists leave you totally in awe of their skill.
The Organisation "Dante Alighieri" under the leadership of Mr. Gert Thalhammer brought this wonderful and wondrous Group to Spittal in Carinthia and Christin and I drove the 1.5 hours to hear
them. I would have driven twice as far for this musical pleasure.
I regret deeply that I cannot post their sound. So you will have to be satisfied with some pictures.
Of course they have CDs on the market. Go and get some and be prepared for some real "listening pleasure of the First Kind."
