This second compact disc, containing Zdeněk Fibich's piano quartet and quintet complements the first compilation, issued in 2001 (String Quartet in G major, String Quartet in A major, Theme and Variations, Panocha Quartet, SU 3470-2131). Fibich's complete chamber works, a small but significant collection of pieces, are now available to music lovers on two CDs.
