| |  | Beethoven: Sextet, Septet & Piano Quintet
Recording location: Sofiensaal, Vienna, Austria, March 1958 (Schubert: Octet), March 1959 (Beethoven: Septet), October 1969 (Beethoven: Sextet, Quintet) This recording forms part of a series of 10 reissues celebrating the glorious Decca recordings from the 1950s-1970s of the Wiener Oktett (Vienna Octet), made up of key principals from the Wiener Philharmoniker and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Five titles were released in September and the remaining five are released this month. This volume in the Wiener Oktett Decca Legacy includes two staple works in the ensemble’s repertoire: the Beethoven Septet (in its 1959 recording and the Schubert Octet (in its 1957 recording). Beethoven was rather miffed when he heard that, of all his works, his divertimento-like Septet was wildly successful in England. This anthology also includes two chamber music rarities by Beethoven – his Op. 29 String Quintet and the Sextet, Op. 81b, which, for its inclusion of the difficult parts for two horns (superbly negotiated by Wolfgang Tomböck and Volker Altmann) has made this recording a collector’s item much sought after by horn players. Both, the Quintet and the Sextet make their first international appearance on CD. “A real treat of a release...these are joyous performances which show with unforced style why chamber music is the prince of musical genres.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2011 ***** “their playing is richly eloquent” [Beethoven String Quintet] … impeccably played, unfailingly pleasing [Beethoven Sextet] … the recordings which are firm and detailed, well-focused and lifelike” Gramophone Magazine (Beethoven) “highly civilised and agreeable … highly recommendable to listeners prepared to enjoy a view of the work which is leisurely both as to style – without any exaggeration of the quality - and as to finding time and space for a generous allowance of repeat-making” Gramophone Magazine (Schubert) “The performance has elegance but also conveys a sparkle and a sense of enjoyment that are thoroughly exhilarating” Penguin Guide *** (Schubert) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Beethoven: Septet & Sextet
These works are two jewels of the chamber repertoire and belong to the serenade genre which was extremely popular in Beethoven’s times. Today they continue to offer us genuine listening pleasure, especially when they are performed by virtuoso performers such as the members of Consortium Classicum. “Now here is a welcome addition to any classical recording library: This ‘standout ensemble’ and two classical masterpieces on the MDG label ... as close to demonstration quality as the CD medium is likely to get.” Fanfare “The playing is excellent throughout this disc, and the sound is of MDG’s characteristic demonstration quality. It’s something for Beethoven enthusiasts who want to explore a less well known aspect of the composer’s output.” MusicWeb International, March 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Penguin Guide *** “One of a batch of reissues celebrating the COE's 25th anniversary, this delectable disc presents the orchestra's superb wind section in Beethoven's fine, underrated Octet and some lighter pieces, all beautifully played.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2006 ***** | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | |

“Beethoven's… Septet… isn't just one of his most likeable works, it's full of imagination and vitality, and when the scherzo is performed with such energy and alert concentration… you can hear more than an echo of the contemporary First Symphony. The big surprise, though, is the central Andante con variazioni. ...the insight the Nash musicians bring to it (especially in the minor-key variation) showed me I haven't been listening closely enough.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2004 ***** | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | |

Jozsef Balogh (clarinet), Ildiko Hegyi (violin), Jeno Kevehazi (horn), Gyozo Mathe (viola), Peter Szabo (cello), Istvan Toth (double bass), Jozsef Vajda (bassoon), Janos Kevehazi (horn), Peter Popa (violin) “These talented Hungarian players offer a fluent, responsive account of the Septet that highlights the music's intimate chamber character – delight in the music's elegance and perfect balance of instrumental forces. In the present instance, vivid recording creates a clear, natural ambience for this alert, sensitively blended ensemble. In the Sextet, horn players, Jenö and János Keveházi play with subtlety and panache as required, their tone spontaneous and free. This excellent, value-for-money Naxos disc also offers an elegant, well-turned performance of Beethoven's E flat Quintet.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
