What an ending! Have not heard such determination in a long time. The chord progression is as decisive as the one in the finale of Glazunov Sonata No.2!
Ludwig Wittgenstein said there were six great composers: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Labor. Labor was a frequent guest at Haus Wittgenstein, so Ludwig may have been a little prejudiced. But the music is very fine.
Perhaps a bit prejudiced, but as the brother of Paul Wittgenstein, Ludwig is likely to have been a perceptive music lover. And I find this work to be a very fine composition, never boring or predictable.
I'm just reading Wittgenstein und googeled Labor. One of Wittgenstein's remarks on Labor: "Labour is, where he writes good music, absolutely unromantic. That's a very strange and meaningful sign." No clue what he means by that.
@LX Forde If someone doesn't think J.S. Bach is the greatest, that's fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion! It just happens that their opinion would be wrong.
+Mari Christian Me too! Labor is again one of those almost completely forgotten composers, who actually made sensitive and well-crafted music like this.
I thank you for introducing me to a completely new set of composers, olla-vogala. It's difficult to understand why they are not more widely played and acknowledged . This quintet is stunning.
+olla-vogala It is indeed a shame that composers like Labor are ignored. His grasp on the theme is absolutely incredible... I'd say it is surpassing Brahms's work; this is on the level of Mendelssohn or Beethoven.
ClassicMusicVids I'm not sure it surpasses Brahms, but it's almost on his level of craftsmanship for sure. Which is quite the praise already, I'd say :)
This is a beautiful score richly and delicately harmonized though with no licence written by a perfectly unknown composer - at lest for me. The sophisticated harmonies sound more German than French, in spite of a very light writing which very far from both Wagner and Barahmps, for instance. A kind of German Gabriel Fauré, if I may say.

What great work Olla-vogala’ does for us. Much appreciated. Many thanks.
Excellent......BRAVO from Acapulco!
1:01 I love this extract. It's written in my favorite tonality and the chord conducting at the piano is amazing.

I suppose it was a joke) great quintet however
Ja eine Fundgrube, an amazing discovery! And: a very nice performance!
heavenly - truly !!
Danke, Herr Labor, for writing a fine quintet including the contrabass -- we of that persuasion, or, at least formerly, give thanks.
Wonderful!
The first Trio of the Scherzo ( 11:10 to 12:35 ) is magical.
@Manuel Oscar The channelmaster should delete such idiotic comments. Because of these comments, I got a notification. What a waste of time.
Heart-breakingly beautiful. I've never heard this piece before, but it strongly reminds me of Brahms' finest chamber music.

Exquisite in every way.

Superb work! Klein meister? No! They were truly great, with a complete control of technique and marvelous ideas!
another fine composer who labor'd in Brahms shadow
yea i wouldn't be surprised if this was mid-late brahms.

@@mcrettable It's rythmically/harmonically/contrapuntally very poorer than Brahms.
