What constantly astonishes me about the music of Frank Martin (which I love) is how even before he forged his hard-won "mature" style in the late 1930s he managed to write extraordinarily beautiful pieces such as this one that gave full expression to his artistic sensibility.
Remarkable piano quintet! Amazing mix of late-romantic textures with neo-baroque harmonies and orchestrational details. The result is a beautiful, passionate, and very mysterious chamber masterpiece. I never knew of this piece, thank you for sharing it!
A wonderful piece that explores so many of the unique expressive and timbral qualities of this instrumentation! Others here have commented on the neo-Baroque qualities of this work, which make the "reverse Picardy third" ending all the more interesting...
Unbelievable masterpiece. Only to compare with the greatest works of chamber music.

More J.S. Bach, I think! (A major and lifelong influence on Frank Martin's music.)
