Synopsis

Amazon.com
The earliest of Mozart's string quintets, the work of a teenager, is still worthwhile Mozart. K. 515 is a masterpiece of the highest order. It's always a privilege to hear these pieces, but in the present instance it's a cheap treat also. The Eder Quartet and friend play with equal measures of vitality and refinement, giving us performances that would be competitive at any price. At Naxos's price, this disc is a steal. --Leslie Gerber

"I received this volume of Mozart's Quintets last Friday and have listened to them twice now over the weekend. This quintet is immensely warm and bright. They play skillfully and beautifully. The music is rich and smooth throughout. Although I haven't compared these pieces with other quintets performing them, I dare say that on their own, they are every bit as good as the better known quartet players of the day (ie; Borodin, Emerson, Julliard, and Kronos to name a few). You just can't beat this level of chamber music for such a low priced CD."
