Per Fanfare:

"Einar Englund (1916—1999) criticized his youthful Piano Quintet of 1941 in later years, satirically calling it “thematically and harmonically an individual mixture of Franck, Reger, Brahms and Ravel.“ He was right in that the edges do stand out in this student composition, and the influences suggest not merely other composers, but specific pieces of theirs. Still, as Sibelius reportedly told Englund, “You shouldn't dismiss your work. The quintet is your best work to date, and you will always remember it as the first milestone in your career.“

"Sibelius knew the disadvantages of being a late-starter, and one who took considerably longer to find his own voice. He wasn't just being compassionate in his remarks, however. Englund's part-writing in the quintet is idiomatic; his themes have character; the inner movements impress with their unity of concept and ability to achieve much through an economy of means. Though uneven in inspiration and overfilled with incident, the Piano Quintet is just as worthy of praise as Sibelius presciently indicated."
