Ernst Gernot Klussmann’s won­derful quin­tet is unmist­aka­b­ly late Romantic. The quar­tet, com­ple­ted five years later, sounds much more modern. The Kuss Quartet – and Peter Nagy in the quin­tet – moves through this music and all its mood chan­ges with sty­li­stic con­fi­dence and grip­ping expres­si­ve­ness. Their inter­pre­ta­ti­on has breath and ten­si­on, dra­ma and inten­si­ty, but does not negle­ct lyri­cism when required.”

We are abso­lut­e­ly deligh­ted to have recei­ved the ICMA Award for our Klussmann recor­ding with pia­nist Péter Nagy. Our sin­ce­re thanks go to the Funk Foundation, the initia­tor of the pro­ject, as well as to Philipp Nedel and his team at b‑sharp Studio!
