Ferdinand Hiller Piano Quintet

[Mark Thomas]

WDR's Musikhaus programme (13:04 German time this coming Sunday 11 September) will be broadcasting a performance of Hiller's Piano Quintet op.156 with Oliver Triendl ,piano and the Minguet Quintet. Just make sure that you don't tread in the Stockhausen which follows!

Oh, it's just the "Tierkreiszeichen", very accessible and melodic. Just give him a chance, you will be surprised

Hello! I am new here and I am searching for the German Radio Broadcast of the Hiller Piano Quintet. I have to play it myself and any recording of it would be a great help. Thank you!

[Mark Thomas]

It's here.

You lucky dog, you!

This is so great, I've got the recording! Thank you so much Mark!!! 

PS. For Jim..... yes, I am a lucky, but very workfully dog  I have to play three Quintets by the end of the months.... so I'd better go practice;) Hope Hiller is a nice piece.....I will soon get the scores too.
All the best for everybody here, this is such a great website

It's a GREAT piece!  And Edition Silvertrust has the score.

I liked the mystery given by "Performers specified on Recording", but just to clear it all up for anyone like me who e.g. is using iTunes and likes to have something definite in the Artist field... it's Oliver Triendl/Minguet Quartet

(at that, I think I have not just those separately- the Minguet Quartet on 2 treasured CDs of Robert Fuchs' string quartets; and I know Triendl's been recording a good deal of Draeseke - but together in something else too... ah, I see they've recorded Herzogenberg's piano quintet for cpo... they do good work!)

And now I've finally gotten around to hearing it (on the excuse I've given myself of time-tracking one-track/multi-movement things in my collection *g*) I agree. Erstaun...erm, great piece!

(A movement from their recording of the Herzogenberg will be broadcast on the 22nd on Belgium's Radio Klara Continuo.)

Thanks Eric. So - same performers (+1) as for the Piano Quartet, broadcast two weeks later. Both fine pieces.
