Nash Ensemble - Ries: Piano Trio & Sextets (CD)

Sextets featuring piano and harp may be a rarity, but the one included here is a real delight. The three companion pieces are no less attractive, showcasing the individual and collective strengths of The Nash Ensemble as well as the merits of a lesser-known composer and his music.
