Thank you for posting! How beautifully played! I don't think the tempo is particularly faster than the recordings of I have of Horszowski, Serkin or Schnabel. Beautiful piano playing, magnificently smooth control of balances and releases. And the string ensemble balances so beautifully!! Characteristic of the time I think, is the preparation of tempo changes. Modern players often change more abruptly. The older style seems much more harmonically aware. A Wonderful characterized performance
im working on this for a competition, and i was surprised at how fast they played it. it really does bring out the uplifting feeling more though. thanks for posting!
Beautiful warm strings in fine harmony & sympathy with the piano,surprisingly satisfying balance.Rapid tempo doesn't upset their taste for rubato,well synchronose...I didn't expect the Repeat,so we're spoiled! Most satisfying,doing full justice to Schumann and surely making many new friends for the work at the time of its appearance.Thanks .
Ah, finally! I just knew you were going to post this and I've been waiting with baited breath (no, I don't really eat worms).Thank you very much.This is superb and, considering its historical nature (the first complete recording), I think the whole piece should be posted (as well as Bauer's Brahms Quintet).
However, my favorites in these works are still Myra Hess in the Schumann and Clifford Curzon in the Brahms.
I have posted the entire quintet with Gabrilowitsch/Flonzaley. The link to mvt 2 has been posted here as a video response. Enjoy!

You got that right.

The musicians in this performance are MUCH closer to the period when this work was composed than performers of later recordings.
