PIANOFORTE QUINTET:

Dvorak's Piano Quintet was written in 1887. It is one of the finest of his chamber works : ' an absolute revelation ', says Ottokar Sourek , ' of the personality of Dvorak, a man apparently locked within himself, moving only in the sphere of divine beauty, now plunged in gloomy meditation, his vision lost in eternity, now smiling brightly, bubbling over with happiness and breaking forth in outbursts of the frankest joy. Such a spirit was Dvorak, and thus he appears in this quintet-one of the freshest and most characteristic creations of his genius '. The composer makes brilliant use of Czech dance forms, notably the ' Furiant' in the scherzo movement.

by THELMA REISS Vater unser im Himmelreich (Our Father which art in Heaven)
By technique and personality and a certain intensive beauty in her playing, Thelma Reiss has won her way into the front rank of our younger cellists. Our own critics have acclaimed her ; France, Holland, Norway, and Spain have all recognised her outstanding gifts. She was something of a child prodigy, for at the age of seven she was able to play the Goltermann concerto in A minor, and in her early 'teens won an open scholarship to the Royal College of Music, where she studied under Ivor James.
About six years later Miss Reiss made her début at the Wigmore Hall, and soon afterwards appeared as soloist in the Elgar 'Cello Concerto at Queen's Hall under Sir Henry Wood. Since that time Miss Reiss has played with most of the leading orchestras in Britain and has played a great deal of chamber music with various eminent pianists, including Harriet Cohen and John Ireland.
