Description
In their latest album, Transformations, the Amsterdam based Ensemble Caméléon presents two fascinating
chamber arrangements, both of beloved works from the
orchestral repertoire, and both made within a few years
of the originals. Beethoven's 'Pastoral' symphony was
arranged for string sextet by Beethoven's contemporary,
Michael Gotthard Fischer, in 1810. The Caméléons
have added a double bass here for extra depth of
sound. The septet version of Strauss' Metamorphosen is
based on Strauss' own early draft for the 23-part
version. Rediscovered in 1990, this septet version was
completed and published by Rudolf Leopold. The result
is a blend of delicacy and grandeur that combines the
best elements of chamber and orchestral playing:
deeply felt, exquisitely voiced, and beautifully recorded.
