Bruch – Streichquintett Es-Dur

On May 18, 2006, a manuscript was auctioned at Sotheby’s that made the world of chamber music sit up and take notice: Shortly before his death, Max Bruch composed three string works that he was no longer able to publish himself. After his death, the two quintets and the octet were considered lost. While the other two works are now accessible again, the E-flat major quintet has not yet been found.
Only now did the well-preserved copy appear in the Sotheby’s catalogue. Evaluated according to all the rules of source criticism, this first edition makes this attractive late-Romantic work available.
