Hello all,
I thought I'd start again a new general thread on a section of the classical Music.
Like I did a few months back with Requiems, stabat maters and co, I'd like this time round to get your input on chamber music, quintets, quartets, trios, etc, of any sort, any periods...What are the central pieces to start with (and beyond, the hidden gems) of that genre ?
I know there is several threads discussing specific pieces, and the views on pros and cons of the recordings. Any recommendations on recordings for your suggested pieces is of course welcome, but please bear in mind that, for beginners like me, it is more a question of discovery and familiarising yourself with a piece. The analytical work on recordings is not the key point at this
stage.
now come on, Ladies and Gents, throw the titles in.
Thanks.
Papy
