Convene a select group of eight elite musicians from London's illustrious Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, and you have one of the world's finest chamber ensembles—so remarkably cohesive that Gramophone has called their performances “nothing short of stunning.” With virtuoso precision and balance, the ensemble delivers a rare and illuminating program that includes uplifting and spirited sextets by Martinu and Dvorák as well as Enesco's exquisite and thematic octet.
“...well-characterized, fervently committed and admirably exact. Just about beyond criticism, in fact.” —Times (London)
PROGRAM Antonín Dvorák: String Sextet in A Major, op. 20; Georges Enesco: Octet for Strings in C Major, op. 7; Bohuslav Martinu : Sextet for Strings
