IMO, this is one of the great recordings of the Brahms Quintet.

About a year ago, I was talking with the woman who recorded and produced the
album (Judy Sherman- one of the great classical producers out there). Out
of the hundreds of albums she has worked on, this was one that stuck out.
She told me that there was easily another 2-3 albums worth of beautiful
takes that were "left on the cutting room floor" when it came to the
editing. Basically, there wasn't anything on the session that wasn't of the
highest quality. What stuck out to her was not the just the good stuff that
made the album, but the good playing that *didn't* make the album.
