FERDINAND THIERIOT (1838-1919): Clarinet Quintet in E Flat, ROBERT FUCHS (1847-1927): Clarinet Quintet in E Flat, Op. 102.

Description: Although dating from 1914 when he was already well on his path to being forgotten, Fuchs' quintet is almost completely relaxed and often with a quality of vernal blooming, only here and there touching upon the nostalgic, autumnal colors of Brahms' own late work in this genre. Thieriot (1897) is also conservative, richly romantic and of an almost completely sunny disposition. Stephan Siegenthaler (clarinet), Stamic Quartet.
