"CD of the Week" The Daily Telegraph

Piano Trio No. 1
Mikhail Glinka
Trio pathétique for clarinet, bassoon and piano
Alexander Glazunov
String Quintet in A major
Mily Balakirev
Octet
This recording brings together works by four composers at the forefront of St Petersburg's musical life in four succeeding generations during a period when St Petersburg was the centre of Russian musical culture. Each significantly influenced the life and work of his successor, whether by the example of his compositions, or by direct practical intervention in his early career. The works recorded here also share a particular characteristic: they are all works by young men. They are vital, exuberant, colourful, and full of ideas.
London Conchord Ensemble is one of London's most versatile chamber ensembles.
