 Drucker recording of the Mozart Quintet!

I just came across Drucker's recording of the Mozart Quintet.

Had no idea that he had recorded it!

has anyone got that one? Tower has previews for each movement too.

David -

I have it and think it's quite good. SD's playing has become more musical over the last few years, and his technique and control are still amazing.

That said, it's not my favorite. There's lots of well judged nuance from Stanley, but the string players are straight-faced. It's basically a clarinet solo with string accompaniment. While the Mozart Quintet isn't a true 5-part ensemble partnership like the Brahms Quintet, I like more integration and matched phrasing than I hear in this version.

It's certainly worth hearing. He's also done a Brahms record, on which his playing of the Sonatas is very fine.

I found a 2nd version with another string quartet on tower and like that recording sound better so I got that one instead.

So there's possibly hope for the strings with that one  :)
