Good, muscular Germanic fare. Definitely one for the list.

A great follow up to the piano trios. More of the same please!

According to Klassika, the E-flat was premiered in 1850, and the G major, in 4 movement's autograph is @ Berlin: Staatsbibliothek. (Edit: and exists in a modern edition iirc.)

This is certainly superb music - in both works there is a wide variety of moods, with wonderful songfulness often alternating with passages of great dynamism. An unmissable release.
