With this sixth volume, the Arcadia Quartet completes its series of recordings of Weinberg’s string quartets.

The ensemble comments:
‘We felt instantly captivated by [Mieczyslaw Weinberg's] wonderful music, the deeply inspired melodies, and perfectly shaped structures...His music is like a glow of light surrounded by the darkness of the unknown, and it quickly became a goal of ours to attempt to dilute these shadows. With every recording and every live performance of his music, we intend to shine some light on this wideranging, profound phenomenon, which has remained overlooked for so long.’

Rave review in The Telegraph! 🥳🙌

"Wilson captures the wit of the Dukas so successfully that, when hearing it, one can more easily put out of one’s mind the Walt Disney cartoon that made the short work world-famous. The Debussy is a gem. The Ravel is expertly conducted...This is a ravishing and deeply satisfying collection, and I commend it unreservedly."

Celtic Nocturne combines five nocturnes by John Field with traditional Irish melodies and three compositions by Barry Douglas himself. His love of – and connection to – this music is apparent from the outset; his instinctive musicianship and lyricism shine through.

"Douglas brings transparency of sound to six of Field's Nocturnes...it's nice to see these unassuming but delightful works getting their due." - BBC Music Magazine

“Martin Owen's playing on this new album has all the agility and panache one could ask. He surmounts every technical challenge with ease. Yet what impresses even more is Owen's sweet, rounded cantabile, and the imaginative variety of his phrasing and colouring.” - Gramophone

John Wilson | Sinfonia of London

"...fans of the Sinfonia of London’s ventures into the French repertoire will need no encouragement to snap up this latest album!" - Europadisc

"In John Wilson’s account the drama is calibrated to a T with virtuosity and precision aplenty, from the first purposely placed pizzicato ‘plop’ to that unearthly coda, ushering in ‘The End’." - Gramophone

For this third volume, Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective pair Brahms’s first Piano Quartet with two works by Dora Pejačević. Although they were born over fifty years apart, Pejačević composed her Piano Quartet and Impromptu early in her career, and both are unmistakably from the same compositional lineage as the work by Brahms.
