The Nash Ensemble presents a captivating journey through the realms of chamber music with their upcoming album, "Chamber Music: Mozart, Beethoven, Dvořák, Ravel..." set to release on September 6, 2025, under Warner Classics. This exquisite collection spans a generous duration of 3 hours and 6 minutes, offering a rich tapestry of compositions from some of the most celebrated names in classical music.
The album opens with a delightful rendition of Saint-Saëns' "Le carnaval des animaux," a playful suite that brings to life the whimsical antics of various creatures. Following this, the Nash Ensemble masterfully navigates through Mozart's Flute Quartet No. 4, showcasing the ensemble's precision and elegance. Debussy's "Musique de scène pour les Chansons de Bilitis" adds a touch of French impressionism, with its evocative and atmospheric pieces.
Dvořák's Piano Trio No. 4 in E Minor, Op. 90, B. 166 "Dumky" brings a dramatic and introspective quality to the album, highlighting the ensemble's dynamic range. Beethoven's Septet in E-Flat Major, Op. 20, is a tour de force, showcasing the Nash Ensemble's technical prowess and musicality. Stravinsky's "Concerto in E-Flat Major 'Dumbarton Oaks'" offers a modern contrast, with its intricate rhythms and vibrant energy.
The album concludes with Ravel's "Chansons madécasses" and Schubert's Octet in F Major, Op. Posth. 166, D. 803, providing a serene and reflective end to this musical journey. The Nash Ensemble's impeccable performance and attention to detail make this album a true gem for classical music enthusiasts.
