Takács Quartet, Marc-André Hamelin (piano)

Price, F: Piano Quintet in A minor
Dvořák: Piano Quintet in A major, Op. 81

The performance Florence Price’s Piano Quintet receives on this eagerly awaited new release from the Takács Quartet and Marc-André Hamelin would suggest that it can be only a matter of time before the work—rediscovered only in 2009—is as familiar and much-loved as the one by Dvořák with which it shares the album.

"There’s Mendelssohnian feather-lightness in the outer sections of the Scherzo, while the central Poco tranquillo Trio section is another example of breathtaking raptness...With recorded sound that’s at once detailed and atmospheric, this new Hyperion release is pure pleasure in every respect." - Gramophone Magazine, June 2025
