Louis Spohr: Chamber Music - The Smithsonian Chamber Players & L'Archibudelli
Vera Beths, Lisa Rautenbertg, Jody Gatwood & Linda Quan, violins; Steven Dann & Guus Jeukendrop, violas; Anner Bylsma & Kenneth Slowik, violoncelli
SONY Vivarte SK 53307
Spohr: Octet (Double Quartet) in D Minor, Op. 65; Sextet in C Major, Op. 140; Quintet in G Major, Op. 33, No. 2, Grande Quintetto
Louis Spohr’s G Major Quintet was considered by some contemporary critics to rival Beethoven’s best compositions. Better still are Spohr’s later, Mendelssohnian Sextet and his sumptuous Octet. All are performed magnificently in this collaboration between two leading historical-performance groups.
