Two newly re-mastered albums of Ludwig Thuille's superb chamber music are released here as a set. Thuille's chamber music is little known, but gradually receiving more prominence in the concert hall; and deservedly so, for it shows some wonderful romantic writing for chamber ensembles. The piano quintets were described as "Ecstatic beauty" by Strad Magazine.
The works here are expertly performed by two excellent chamber groups: The Falk Quintet (with Tomer Lev, piano) on one album, and the London Conchord Ensemble on the second disc. Extensive booklet notes by Tomer Lev - pianist on the record and leading Thuille expert - accompany the recordings; the first releases on the new Champs Hill Records label.
London Conchord Ensemble is one of Europe’s leading chamber ensembles. Their imaginative programming and charismatic performance style have won them many accolades over the years, and they celebrated their 10th anniversary with a BBC Chamber Music Prom at Cadogan Hall. The group has made frequent broadcasts on BBC Radio 3 and American National Public Radio. Highlights of recent seasons include performances at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw,
Wigmore Hall, Dusseldorf Tonhalle, Brussels Palais des Beaux Arts, Library of Congress in Washington D.C., and tours of Germany, France, America and New Zealand. Conchord performed a ten-centre nationwide tour as part of Chamber Music New Zealand's International ‘Kaleidoscopes’ Concert Season that included Radio New Zealand broadcasts. With a variety of programmes designed to showcase their flair and flexibility; the group also reached out to a younger audience where they introduced great chamber music works to children.
