Piano Quintet in A Minor op. 84 / String Quartet in E Minor op. 83
Album by Edward Elgar & The Medici Quartet & John Bingham
The Piano Quintet in A minor, Op.84, and the String Quartet in E minor, Op.83 are chamber works by Sir Edward Elgar, composed in 1918. They employ a late-Romantic harmonic palette, rich string textures and lyrical melodic writing with moments of introspection and autumnal sombre character, reflecting Elgar's turn to smaller-scale forms late in his career during the wartime period.
First released: 1992
