"What we have here are two pieces of very high quality music with melody and energy. The recordings are spacious and detailed with the piano placed behind the strings and with the ambience of the acoustically excellent DKDM Concert Hall subtly present."
- MusicWeb International
The Copenhagen Piano Quartet presents this recording devoted to Danish composer Friedrich Kuhlau, one of the the most cosmopolitan personalities in Danish music at the beginning of the 19th century and a prolific writer. The two piano quartets performed on this album by the young members of the CPQ are major works from the composer’s most artistically fertile decade and testify to Kuhlau’s own brilliance as a pianist.
