Since its first concert in January 1983 the Schubert Ensemble has established itself as one of the world's leading exponents of music for piano and strings. Regularly giving around 50 concerts a year, the ensemble has performed in over 40 different countries.
In the past few years the Ensemble has enjoyed a busy international schedule, with performances in Romania, Norway, Spain, Holland, Bermuda, the UAE and the USA, as well as a first visit to China. The Ensemble has also released recordings for the Chandos label of works by Martinů, Fauré, Enescu and Dvořák, all of which have been widely praised. The Dvořák disc and the most recent of two Enescu discs were chosen as CD of the month by the BBC Music Magazine.
The second of two Schumann/Fauré concerts at
Wigmore Hall will take place on
Sunday November 29th.
The Schubert Ensemble opens its recital with his Andante in B flat for violin and piano and Schumann’s Piano Quartet Op. 47, a great landmark of the chamber music repertoire.
