Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s chamber works were composed early and late in his career. He considered the Piano Quintet No. 1 in F major from 1932 to be the best of all his chamber works from that period. It exudes Romantic candour and contrapuntal richness, full of lively themes and with a colourful atmosphere. The beautiful Piano Quintet No. 2, composed in 1951, draws on the composer’s memories of a serene and rustic Tuscany. Quartetto Adorno’s ‘reference-worthy performance’ (Classictoday.com) of the complete string quartets is on 8.574580.
