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.

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.
