GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE'There may have been no “black Beethoven” in the USA (as Alex Ross discusses on page 48) but 19th-century England was graced by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, who was so popular he was known as “the black Mahler”. Dead at 37, his fame has dimmed since, but some excellent recent issues are helping to right the imbalance. These delightful performances from the Nash Ensemble can only spread the word further.'
(Gramophone)
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.
