The problems of balance in the Schumann chamber music are well-known - the piano often doubles the strings, to their annoyance. Hearing these performances, you see what's happening: it is the strings that are needed to reinforce the piano at crucial moments! Burnett's silvery piano makes magic of the quintet in particular, and the readings are first reate.
