About

Another release on Onyx from “Britain’s premier chamber ensemble” (The Times), completing the piano quartet recordings. Nos 1 and 3 were released to critical acclaim on Onyx 4029.

The Nash Ensemble:
- Marianne Thorsen (violin)
- Lawrence Power (viola)
- Paul Watkins (cello)
- Ian Brown (piano)
- Richard Hosford (clarinet)

 ‘These are terrific, clear-sighted yet impassioned performances of two compelling chamber works, given by a first-rate team of players. In the opening two movements of the G minor piano quartet, composed in 1861, there’s a beautiful control of pace and stress, the flavour slightly restrained, though there is certainly plenty of fire in the unrelenting, brilliant gypsy music of the exuberant finale. The C minor quartet, completed in 1874, speaks of darker matter, and was first thought of when Brahms was guiltily preoccupied with thoughts of Clara Schumann. This is an appositely fiery reading’.
**** - Review of Onyx 4029 (The Sunday Times - 23.11.08)
