I've recently been building up a basic collection of Brahms' chamber music, trying to find - if not a definite recording - at least a "keeper" library recording of each work that will satisfy in the long run. Turning to the great piano quintet, I find (as obviously is often is the case with great works) that opinions as to top recommendations seem to differ quite a bit. I have read some very good things about the recent Andsnes/Artemis Quartet and Fleischer/Emerson Quartet recordings, but also tried and tested recordings by Pollini/ Quartetto Italiano and Serkin/ Budapest String Quartet seem do well in the competition. Having found the views of this esteemed auditorium very reliable in the past, I am curious to hear about your recommendations. If you were to recommend only one recording of the piano quintet, which would that be?
