This isn't a new broadcast, but I don't think it's been mentioned here before, nor to my knowledge has this work yet received a commercial recording (unlike the quintet in D from 1926 on Hanssler.)
See Das Else Ensemble spielt Kahns Quintett op54.

Alan Howe

The ensemble here is piano, clarinet, violin, viola and cello.

The score and parts are at IMSLP, too (where alternate instrumentations including common garden piano quintet and trae-messing-tarm-klaver (sorry :) wood, brass, string, piano) options are noted.)

Actually, I have a commercial recording by the Ensemble Émigré on the Rubicon label, released in 2021.  It uses piano, violin, cello, clarinet, and horn.

Just found that disc on Amazon myself. -and that's what I meant by wood brass gut piano, yes :) (borrowing the nickname of a work by Vagn Holmboe...)
