  • Description

    The teenage Korngold possessed a compositional fluency and maturity which belied his youth; in contrast, Tchaikovsky feared—wholly unjustifiably—his own creative powers to be on the wane when writing 'Souvenir de Florence'.

    The Nash Ensemble brings passion and conviction to both.



    "The six players here play with such a shared vision and feeling for these works that you would think they had been playing sextets together all their career" – MusicWeb International
