Background: In this delightful disc, chamber music rarities by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor are performed by The Nash Ensemble. The early Piano Quintet shows the precocious development of the young composer, already demonstrating the flair for melody and inexhaustible spontaneity that would become a hallmark of his later works.

The astonishing Clarinet Quintet is a work of remarkable subtlety and sophistication, rhythmically exuberant and complex, and uses the ensemble in an integrated way that demonstrates the composer's utter mastery of the genre. This is music of deep sensibility that deserves to be better known.

'BBC Music Magazine 2008 Awards Nomination - the Jury says : Coleridge-Taylor is best-known, when he’s remembered at all, for his Violin Concerto…but the Nash Ensemble offers us delightful chamber music from the 1890s, of which the Clarinet Quintet is the real find. Dvorak is often the muse; enthusiastically recommended for English romantics.' - Nov-2007 5 star BBC Music Mag. - Nov-2007 Gramophone Editor's Choice 'exquisite readings of precocious fare - another jewel from the Nash Ensemble'
