This collection of great chamber music brings together nine giants of music in works which reveal their most immediate and individual expressive worlds: proof if ever any was needed that less can be much, much more.

11 hours 42 minutes

"Here the group sounds wonderfully well together, both literally and in the way it feels the music - lots of little details come out clearly and with character, yet without having to be exaggerated. Attractive, warm recorded sound together with playing of such quality make this a real bargain." - Gramophone, Jan 2000 on the Beethoven String Quartets

"Sweeping energy and well-shaped long melodic lines make these performances gripping and rewarding. This is an impassioned, German-Romantic Mendelssohn, far closer to Schumann or Stainer. Each work is approached very much as a whole...a compelling symphonic argument." - BBC Music Magazine, March 2002 on the Mendelssohn Piano Trio
