Title: Very mediocre CD - not recommended
Product review: The two string quintets of Johannes Brahms are featured here in a recording by the northern Italian ensemble Quartetto Amati, joined by additional viola players. The performance is a bit crude and underrehearsed. The Amati just doesn't have the refinement or technical ease one would expect in accomplished performances. Additionally, the sound engineering is harsh and excessively forward. This is a bargain CD made with cut-rate recording equipment of an underprepared ensemble. One star.
