Pleyel: String Quintets, Ben. 271-273, Vol. 17

If the 17 string quartets by Ignaz Joseph Pleyel (1757 to 1831) have been neglected, its not due to their quality, but its due to the fact that, until recently, few or only inadequate modern editions of these works were tangible. Now available these quartets are presented here, thanks to the meritorious Pleyel series at Ars Produktion.
