Fascinating Work Grieg and Finnissy for piano quintet - heard by ROBERT ANDERSON '... the whole disc is an unexpected serendipity.'

Familiar as I am with Grieg's very expansive string quartet, I can only regret he did not persevere to the end with this piano quintet. Maybe the threatened size, implied by a first movement exposition torso of 250 bars, was just too daunting. So Michael Finnissy has gallantly come to his rescue and finished the job...
