Schumann - Piano Quintet [Larrocha/ Tokyo String Quartet]

Here's the Spanish Pianist Alicia De Larrocha playing Schumann's Piano Quintet, i've never found Schumann's Chamber music very strong, but the Piano Quintet actually makes an impression on me, it's not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a well pleasing work that i enjoyed listening to today.

The booklet cover is interesting, which must be some tropical tree fronds, the overlaying red works with the greens and the yellows, this is one of the better discs in this series.

I enjoyed playing the first movement today,

Here's Alicia De Larrocha/Tokyo String Quartet playing the first movement on YouTube.
