abstract:Anton Bruckner's String Quintet in F major, WAB 112 was written in 1879 at the request of Joseph Hellmesberger, Sr. and dedicated to Duke Max Emanuel of Bavaria.
The John Jorgenson Quintet features Stephan Dudash on five-string viola, Gonzalo Bergara on rhythm guitar, Charlie Chadwick on bass and percussionist Rick Reed.
Herrmann was discouraged by the obscurity of his concert music compared to his film scores, and this underperformed Quintet, a final resurrection of the lost Madeleine (his somber string quartet "Echoes" had resuscitated her two years earlier), indicates he had every reason to be.
