Abstract

This article reviews an album titled "Early Romantic Piano Quartets" performed by the Van Swieten Society, a Dutch ensemble specializing in classical and early romantic works on period instruments. The album features Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s Piano Quartet in G, Ferdinand Ries’s Piano Quartet in F minor, Op. 13, and Franz Schubert’s Adagio and Rondo Concertante in F, D 487. The review highlights the ensemble’s expressive playing, particularly praising Schubert’s work and Ries’s inventive fugue in the finale, while noting some weaknesses in the opening movements of Hummel’s and Ries’s quartets. The Van Swieten Society is led by fortepianist Bart van Oort, with violinist Heleen Hulst, violist Elisabeth Smalt, and cellist Matyas Virag. [Extracted from the article]
