George Caird (oboe) Schubert Ensemble Commemorating 50 years since Martinu’s death, the Birmingham Conservatoire’s Ensemble-in-Residence, The Schubert Ensemble, together with the Conservatoire’s Principal, George Caird, perform a varied programme by this prolific Czech composer, who spent much of his life in exile. The recording illustrates both his versatility and his fantastically colourful musical language, and culminates in the exhilarating piano quartet, which is considered to be one of Martinu’s finest chamber compositions from his American years. It was immediately after completing this work that Martinu embarked upon writing the first of his six substantial symphonies, major contributions to the symphonic legacy of the first half of the twentieth century. Two of the other works on this disc were also written in his during his stay in America – Piano Trio No.3, and Quartet for oboe, violin and piano. Duo No.2 in D for violin and violoncello completes the programme. After 26 years at the forefront of British chamber music, the Schubert Ensemble is firmly established as one of the world’s leading exponents of chamber music for piano and strings. “The Schubert Ensemble responds superbly to the Piano Quartet and the Trio with a clear sense of involvement in Martinu's musical language and their performances of the slow movements are particularly memorable.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2009 “The Schubert Ensemble's performances are first-rate, partnered marvellously by George Caird in the 1947 Quartet.” Gramophone Magazine, January 2010 | | | (also available to download from $10.75) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
