Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of classical music with Rudolf Serkin's "Mozart & Beethoven: Quintets for Piano and Winds." This album, released on January 1, 1961, under the BNF Collection label, is a masterful display of Serkin's virtuosity and the enduring brilliance of Mozart and Beethoven.

Allegro ma non troppo."
Spanning a total of 50 minutes, this album is a journey through the intricate harmonies and dynamic contrasts that define these classical masterpieces. Serkin's performance is marked by precision and passion, bringing out the depth and nuance of each piece. Whether you're a seasoned classical enthusiast or new to the genre, this album offers a captivating exploration of two of the most influential composers in history.
