Spohr and Schubert Octets
The Nash Ensemble perform a programme of colourful chamber music including the youthful Rossini鈥檚 String Sonata No. 1 and octets for wind and strings by Spohr and Schubert.
From Wigmore Hall in London, the Nash Ensemble perform colourful chamber music from the early 19th century. The first of the pre-teen Rossini鈥檚 jolly string sonatas precedes a pair of octets for wind and strings. Spohr's includes a set of variations on Handel鈥檚 鈥楬armonious Blacksmith鈥� theme, and Schubert's genial Octet, the longest chamber work he wrote, is an hour of inspired melody and endlessly inventive scoring.
Recorded on Saturday and presented by Martin Handley.
